Sonam Wangchuk Detained While Marching To Delhi From Leh – More details here !

Sonam Wangchuk, a climate activist, was arrested on Monday night at the Singhu border along with 120 other residents of the union territory. Wangchuk was marching from Leh to the national capital to demand that Ladakh be given sixth schedule status.

Wangchuk and the others wished to spend the night at the border, according to a police officer. Prohibition orders had been issued in Delhi, so at first they were asked to return. However, when they refused, the police officers stationed at the border apprehended roughly 120 men, according to a PTI report citing the officer.

Due to concerns about law and order, including calls for protest from multiple organizations, the Delhi Police has prohibited gatherings of five people or more, as well as those carrying banners, placards, arms, and/or participating in protests in the city’s center and surrounding regions until October 5.

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, called the action “unacceptable”. “It is deplorable that Sonam Wangchuk ji and hundreds of Ladakhis were detained while peacefully protesting for their constitutional rights and the environment. Why are senior persons being held at the border with Delhi for advocating for the future of Ladakh?” Rahul said.

Wangchuk said several vehicles of Delhi Police and Haryana Police were accompanying their buses and while they initially thought they were being escorted, as they approached the national capital, it was clear they were going to be detained.
