Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk is once again starting a protest fast from July 15 to reiterate the demands of statehood and Sixth Schedule for Ladakh. This phase of protest is scheduled to continue for at least a month and representatives from across the region are likely to participate and support his initiative.
“We want the government to seriously continue the talks with the representatives of Ladakh on these core issues,” he told ET.
The Centre had on June 3 announced new reservation and domicile policies for Ladakh, reserving 85% jobs for locals and one-third of the total seats in the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Councils for women.
