After the violence in Ladakh (Ladakh) on 24 September, the ban under Section 163 of BNSS in Leh district is still applicable. Under this, five or more people are prohibited from gathering in the district. In addition, no procession, rally or march can be taken out without prior written permission. The deployment of security personnel continues throughout Leh. Four people were killed after the violence that took place recently, and so far 44 people have been arrested in this regard.
The people of Ladakh have been demanding to include the Union Territory in the sixth schedule of the Constitution for a long time. Those arrested include Sonam Wangchuk, who is a prominent worker of this demand.
Wangchuk has been detained under the National Security Act (NSA) on charges of inciting violence and he is currently kept in Jodhpur Jail. He was detained when he ended his hunger strike.
