Wangchuk given warm welcome in Lahaul-Spiti

Renowned climate activist and educator Sonam Wangchuk, along with 75 volunteers, was warmly welcomed in Lahaul and Spiti district today. He is on a foot march from Ladakh to Delhi. The march, which began on September 1, is aimed at compelling the Central Government to fulfil its promise of including Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.

Showing blisters on his feet from the arduous journey, Wangchuk remarked, “Jin honthon pe hansi, panvon mein chhale honge, han vahi log tere chahne vale honge,” reflecting the physical toll of the march and his dedication to the cause.

Lahaul-Spiti MLA Anuradha Rana, along with local residents, joined Wangchuk’s protest to express solidarity with Ladakh’s demands. The residents of Lahaul and Spiti have shown support for Wangchuk’s demand of the inclusion of Ladakh in the Sixth Schedule, highlighting the broader regional backing for the cause of people living in Ladakh.
