Srinagar, Sept 24: Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh Kavinder Gupta in a video statement Wednesday condemned the violence in Leh and appealed to religious communities and political parties to identify miscreants responsible for the unrest.
He said all groups should work together to maintain peace in Ladakh and extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives. Gupta added that a curfew had been imposed for a period of time.
He said the Central Government has agreed to begin dialogue on the demands, and yet certain groups tried to create chaos, which he described as against Ladakh’s traditions.
LG Gupta said security forces, including CRPF and police personnel, had faced stone-pelting and attacks, and he called for accountability for those responsible.
He added that efforts were being made to safeguard the future of youth, including jobs, education, and tourism, and that any attempts to ruin livelihoods or records would not be tolerated.
A curfew had been imposed, he noted, and he extended condolences to families of those who lost their lives. He appealed for collective efforts to restore peace and said measures were being taken to prevent further casualties in Ladakh.
