Violent protests broke out in Leh, Ladakh, led by disillusioned Gen-Z youth demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule protections. At least four protesters were killed and over 80 people injured, including 40+ security personnel. Protesters set fire to the BJP office, a police vehicle, and other public and private properties after a prolonged hunger strike by local activists. The unrest reflects long-standing frustration over Ladakh’s lack of local legislature, electoral autonomy, and economic opportunities since becoming a Union Territory in 2019. Authorities imposed curfew, used teargas and live ammunition in self-defense, and called for peace, dialogue, and accountability.
