Ladakh demands constitutional safeguards and statehood
In Ladakh, a complete shutdown was observed as thousands gathered to demand constitutional safeguards, protection of cultural identity, and statehood for the union territory. Since the revocation of Article 370 in 2019, Ladakh lost special privileges and power.
