Protests demanding autonomy by the population in the Ladakh region located in northern India have led to unrest. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
At least four people were killed and more than 80 injured as a result of the clashes. The protests were led by prominent activist Sonam.
He was arrested, and the government accuses him of inciting the crowd. However, Sonam denies these allegations.
In 2019, the Indian government placed Ladakh under direct central administration. Since then, demands from the population regarding statehood status and special rights have intensified.
Since Ladakh borders China and Pakistan, it is considered a region of great strategic importance. Experts emphasize that maintaining stability here is very important.
There are warnings that the worsening situation in the region could threaten peace and security. Therefore, negotiations between the government and the local population are necessary.
It is important to closely monitor the situation in Ladakh and to consider the interests of all parties in resolving the issues.
