Leh is slowly returning to normal after the violent clashes and protests that began on September 24 and left four people dead. All schools up to Class 8 have reopened from today, October 3, indicating improving conditions in the district.
The order was issued by Assistant Commissioner (Revenue) Shabbir Hussain on the directions of the district magistrate. “It is hereby ordered that all shops and schools up to Class 8 within Leh district shall remain open, and small buses (public transport) shall be permitted to ply between 10 am and 6 pm on October 3, subject to strict adherence to the restrictions laid down under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,” it stated.
Authorities have appealed to residents to cooperate with the administration and avoid public gatherings.
What Happened In Leh Ladakh?
Violence broke out in Leh after protests by the youth wing of the Leh Apex Body (LAB), leading to the deaths of four people. Tensions escalated when two hunger strikers, out of a group of 15, were hospitalised as their health worsened. The group had been on a hunger strike since 10 September, demanding statehood and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
The protest, which had remained peaceful until then, soon turned violent, sparking unrest in the region. Local authorities then imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
