Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Kavinder Gupta denounced violent incidents that disrupted Leh over the past two days. Officials will implement strict measures against individuals responsible for disturbing peace throughout the Union Territory. Gupta acknowledged democratic protest rights while condemning destructive acts such as arson, stone pelting, and property attacks against public and private establishments. Security personnel carrying only batons faced severe attacks during law enforcement operations, with attempts made to ignite occupied vehicles and target senior officials. The administration imposed curfew restrictions while urging political parties to help identify troublemakers and preserve Ladakh's traditionally peaceful environment.
