Sonam Wangchuk sitting on hunger strike in Ladakh to press for statehood, 6th Schedule
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, a member of Leh Apex Body, is currently on a 35-day hunger strike seeking Ladakh's inclusion under the Constitution's Sixth Schedule and statehood. "The talks with the Union government stopped around two months ago...the government has not called another meeting," he said. The strike would be called off if Centre resumes result-oriented talks, he added.
