Sonam Wangchuk says Ladakh report and compensation remain unclear
In short
Sonam Wangchuk said the judicial inquiry report on Ladakh has still not been made public. He also said the Rs 15 lakh compensation for families of those killed is too small and should be raised.
This matters to families in Ladakh and to groups pushing for statehood and Sixth Schedule inclusion. It is still unclear what the report says or whether the compensation will change.
What the reporting says
Sonam Wangchuk said the judicial inquiry report on events in Ladakh has not been made public, while the families of those killed have received meagre compensation of Rs 15 lakh, according to a publisher-supplied summary. He said the amount is painfully inadequate and should be raised to a dignified level. The comment came as the Apex Body Leh and Kargil Democratic Alliance continue seeking statehood and Sixth Schedule inclusion. The report’s contents and any next step remain unknown.
