Ladakh's Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance announce a month-long peace march from Ladakh to Delhi, pressing for statehood and other demands.

Ladakh's Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance are announcing a month-long peace march, or padyatra, from Ladakh to Delhi from September 1 to October 2 to press the Indian government regarding Ladakh's demands, including statehood, extension of the Constitution's sixth schedule, early recruitment process, and separate Lok Sabha seats for Leh and Kargil districts. The march will consist of 100 volunteers and climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent protest methods. The talks between Ladakh representatives and the central government ended in March without any concrete outcome.
