Frustration mounts in Ladakh as leaders await a response from authorities regarding their request to meet detained activist Sonam Wangchuk.

Sajjad Kargili of the Kargil Democratic Alliance criticized the prolonged silence, highlighting the urgency of their appeal. Amid ongoing talks with the central government, the call for action stresses the gravity of the situation.

Wangchuk, detained since September under the NSA, remains a focal point of protests demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh. With the High Powered Committee set to meet soon, anticipations run high for a resolution.
