His release came alongside assurances from the Centre about continued engagement with stakeholders in Ladakh.Demands persist amid call for flexible dialogueLadakhi groups, including the Leh Apex Body, have been pressing for statehood and Sixth Schedule status, demands Wangchuk has said fall within the Constitution. He has advocated a “flexible approach” in negotiations while urging both sides to avoid a “win-lose” outcome.The earlier rounds of talks between Ladakhi representatives and a Union home ministry panel, including meetings in October and February, remained inconclusive, prompting calls for renewed engagement.The government has said it remains committed to addressing Ladakh’s concerns through dialogue and mechanisms such as a High-Powered Committee. It has emphasised the need to maintain peace, stability and mutual trust in the region.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.
