Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk leads 35-day fast in Leh for Ladakh's constitutional recognition and statehood.

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and the Leh Apex Body have started a 35-day fast in Leh, India, to demand Ladakh's inclusion under the Constitution's sixth schedule and statehood. The fast began due to the Union Home Ministry's failure to meet with them regarding their demands over the past two months. The protest, which coincides with Gandhi Jayanti, aims to remain peaceful and non-violent, with all-faith prayer services supporting their cause.
