Srinagar, Nov. 13 -- Amid protests in Leh against the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) elections scheduled for December 4, the Ladakh administration has imposed 60-day movement restrictions on climate activist Sonam Wangchuk. "In terms of Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, restrictions were imposed on Sonam Wangchuk on his movement and direct him to refrain from engaging in any activity, organising or participating in any unauthorised rally, procession or public gathering, or any conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace, disturbance of public tranquillity or obstruction to the peaceful conduct of the ongoing electoral processes within the territorial jurisdiction of Leh district. This order shall come into force with immediate effect and shall remain in force for a period of 60 days," reads the order issued by the additional district magistrate, Leh. The action came on Wednesday evening, when Ladakh Police removed Wangchuk from a protest site in Leh and escorted him to his residence. He was advised to remain indoors in compliance with prohibitory orders issued by the chief electoral officer, UT Ladakh, and the district magistrate, Leh, ahead of the elections. Meanwhile, protesting the holding of the LAHDC and panchayat polls during winter, the Leh Apex Body (LAB) held a demonstration in Leh on Thursday. The LAB had decided to stage a peaceful protest at Martyrs Park against the election schedule. Heavy security was deployed across Leh since morning, as the administration had already banned any protests within the municipal limits of the town. In a statement, the apex body said that despite the restrictions, the peaceful protest was successfully held in Ladakh today. "Despite the heavy deployment of police and paramilitary personnel and restrictions on organising protests within the municipal limits of Leh and Kargil during the model code of conduct, people from all walks of life across Ladakh participated in large numbers in the peaceful dharna," the LAB said....
