Despite the Centre on Saturday revoking the detention of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk under the National Security Act, protests planned for March 16 across Ladakh will go ahead as scheduled. On Saturday, KDA member Sajjad Kargilli said the constitutional guarantees that Ladakh is seeking are not “an individual matter” but a collective concern. They said that the MHA had promised to set up another meeting in 15 days, but they are yet to hear back. If this attitude continues, we will be forced to protest on the streets and extend our agitation,” Karbalai had said. It was after this that Wangchuk was detained on September 26 for allegedly instigating the violent protests.
