Was Ladakh violence incited by comparisons to Nepal? Wangchuk says youths lost limbs

In Ladakh, four protesters died and 58 were wounded after security forces allegedly fired on demonstrators demanding Sixth Schedule protections and statehood. The violence, the first since Ladakh became a Union territory in 2019, erupted after hunger strikers collapsed, prompting mass protests. Activist Sonam Wangchuk condemned the police action, while officials cited stone-throwing by protesters and damage to property.
