Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk released a video on Thursday night, in which she is saying that she has been placed under house arrest. Heavy police and paramilitary forces are deployed outside his house. Wangchuk said that the police were not letting him go out of the house. On the other hand, Ladakh Police says that this is not house arrest, it is in compliance with the prohibitory orders imposed during the elections. Wangchuk and organizations of Ladakh are opposing holding the hill council elections to be held on December 4 in winter. A day earlier the police had removed Wangchuk from the protest site. After this the police took him to his home. Wangchuk said he would approach the magistrate, high court and Supreme Court against being stopped from participating in the peaceful protest. Why opposition to elections in Ladakh, 2 reasons… Demand to release the report on the incident of 24th September. Wangchuk reiterated the demand to release the Commission of Inquiry report on the incident of 24th September last year. He alleged that the matter was being suppressed. Wangchuk said that demonstrations have been successful across Ladakh and will continue until the demands are met. He also appealed for support. Wangchuk said that the people of Ladakh have always stood with the young generation of India and the soldiers protecting the country’s borders. Ladakh Elections: For the first time, 8 councils will be formed in 8 districts. Elections for Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) will be held in Ladakh on December 4. This is not an assembly or Lok Sabha election. This is the election of the local government of Ladakh which looks after the daily tasks like roads, water, schools, health, farming, land etc. The biggest thing is that this time for the first time 8 different councils will be formed in 8 districts. Earlier there were only two councils – Leh and Kargil. Now 6 new districts have been formed, so there will be 8 councils. Voting will take place on December 4 from 8 am to 5 pm. Counting will take place on December 8.
