Photo credit: PTI NEW DELHI: Activist Sonam Wangchuk on Saturday acknowledged a “positive step” between Ladakh representatives and the Centre, though he warned that trust-building in the region remained incomplete amid unresolved protest-related cases from the last year and institutional issues.In an interview with PTI, Wangchuk said optimism had improved after the recent meeting with the Union home ministry sub-committee, but stressed that the government’s intent would ultimately be judged by action on unresolved issues in the coming weeks.He also said tensions in Ladakh had recently escalated to a point where he feared the Union Territory could become “another Manipur”, citing growing unrest and divisions between communities.“Last week was very negative. There was conflict everywhere. I thought Ladakh would become another Manipur; it was heading in that direction,” he said.Wangchuk said the latest meeting had changed his outlook to some extent. “This meeting has made some difference… Otherwise, I was very disappointed,” he said, referring to his detention earlier this year.His remarks came after the Leh Apex Body and Kargil Democratic Alliance held talks with the Centre on demands including statehood, constitutional safeguards for land and jobs, and greater democratic powers for Ladakh.The groups later said an “in-principle understanding” had been reached on restoring democracy and exploring constitutional protections similar to those under Article 371.Wangchuk said the release order following his detention had spoken about creating “an environment of trust” and moving towards “meaningful and constructive dialogue”, but claimed the situation on the ground did not reflect those assurances.“People were getting divided — Leh and Kargil, Buddhists fighting Buddhists, Muslims fighting Muslims. We felt trust-building was not happening, and meaningful dialogue seemed unlikely,” he said.He added that trust-building would depend on measures such as withdrawal of cases linked to the September 24 protests, restoration of seized devices and resolution of issues related to the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL).Wangchuk also raised concerns over the continued seizure of his mobile phone, confiscated during protests around eight months ago.“My mobile phone was taken when I was jailed. It has been more than two months since I was released, and I still do not have it back,” he said.“Without it, I cannot book an Ola, an Uber, or even a plane ticket. Digitally, I have become useless in Digital India,” he added.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

– NEW DELHI:In a move that could ease anxiety for thousands of medical aspirants, the National Medical Commission (NMC) has allowed newly approved super-specialty postgraduate seats to be included in counselling without waiting for final approval letters.For students, this means faster counselling, fewer delays and better clarity on available seats.The regulator has said that seats cleared by its First Appeal Committee will be treated as valid for the ongoing counselling process, removing a key procedural hurdle that often slows down admissions.The decision comes at a crucial stage of the admission cycle, when delays in approvals typically hold up seat allocation and leave candidates uncertain about their options.Under the new direction, counselling authorities can now include these seats directly based on the approved list, instead of waiting for formal Letters of Permission (LoPs) from institutions.The order follows appeals filed by medical colleges against earlier seat allocations, which were reviewed and cleared by the First Appeal Committee under provisions of the NMC Act.The seats cover high-demand super-specialties such as cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology and gastroenterology, across medical colleges in several states.The NMC has directed all state authorities and counselling bodies, including the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), to update their seat matrix and proceed with admissions, ensuring that the counselling process continues without procedural hold-ups.About the AuthorAnuja JaiswalAnuja Jaiswal is a Senior Assistant Editor at The Times of India, with an impressive 18-year career in narrative journalism.
