The Supreme Court has requested a response from the Centre and the Union Territory of Ladakh regarding a plea filed by Gitanjali J Angmo, the wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, challenging his detention under the National Security Act. Wangchuk was arrested on September 26 following protests in Ladakh demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status, which resulted in fatalities and injuries. The court declined to mandate the provision of detention grounds to Angmo, scheduling the next hearing for October 14. This case underscores the complexities surrounding activism in sensitive regions like Ladakh, raising questions about the balance between national security and dissent in the context of escalating local demands for autonomy and recognition.
