Authorities in Leh, Ladakh, have announced the reopening of shops and schools up to Class 8 as the situation stabilizes following violent clashes on September 24 that resulted in four fatalities. The decision to lift certain restrictions includes allowing public transport to operate between 10 am and 6 pm, provided that prohibitory orders against assembly of five or more persons are strictly followed. This move comes after a gradual easing of the curfew, which was initially relaxed for seven hours on September 30. The reopening reflects an essential step toward restoring normalcy in the region, highlighting the government’s commitment to maintaining order and supporting community resilience amid challenges to peace and security in sensitive border areas.
