Ladakh protest row: Police remove Sonam Wangchuk from protest site hours

Ladakh Police removed climate activist Sonam Wangchuk from a protest site in Leh on Wednesday evening. Wangchuk and local leaders protested against hill council elections set for December 4 due to harsh winter conditions. They argued that approximately 25% of Ladakhis are away from the region during this period. The local administration imposed a ban on protests to maintain public order during the elections.
