The Leh Apex Body (LAB) has announced a strategic shift in their protest approach against land issues near the China border. Following the withdrawal of their planned border march due to administrative restrictions, LAB revealed plans for a smaller contingent to conduct a foot march to Changthang, highlighting the challenges faced by local farmers.
Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, a key figure in LAB, disclosed that the march aims to expose the adverse impact of not implementing the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution on farmers’ access to pasture land.
Making the announcement at a press Conference here, Climate activist Sonam Wangchu who is part of the LAB said the march will be undertaken “very soon” and emphasized the urgency of the situation but noted that specific dates for the march are still under consideration.
The LAB, along with the Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA), is spearheading an agitation over the past four years to demand statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
