Following deadly clashes during a statehood protest led by the Leh Apex Body, Ladakh Lt Governor Kavinder Gupta announced a district-wide curfew in Leh to prevent further violence. Four people were killed and over 45 injured, including 22 police personnel, as protesters clashed with security forces and torched vehicles.
The protests jointly organised by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) and Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) saw protestors including men and women from all walks of life, march through the city of Leh, despite the freezing temperatures that the city has been witnessing.
