Highlighting the NSG’s legacy since 1984, Shah praised its decisive role in major operations like the Akshardham and 26/11 attacks. He announced the establishment of a new NSG hub in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, expanding the elite force’s network to seven hubs across India, including Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Jammu.

The Home Minister reaffirmed India’s “zero terrorism policy” under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He mentioned legal reforms and operations such as the abrogation of Article 370, surgical strikes, and air strikes that weakened terror networks. Shah also referenced “Operation Sindoor” and “Operation Mahadev,” which targeted terror camps and operatives.

He also appreciated the CAPF’s contribution to environmental protection, noting 6.5 crore saplings planted since 2019. Shah laid the foundation for a Rs 141 crore Special Training Centre in Manesar to strengthen counter-terror training for commandos.

The victims were identified as Jigmet Dorjay, 25, from Kharnakling village, and Stanzin Namgyal, 23, from Igoo village. Their last rites took place between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Authorities allowed only close relatives to attend, while the city remained under tight restrictions.

A curfew stayed in place for the fifth straight day. Roads were empty, markets remained shut, and security forces guarded every corner. Officials insisted these steps were necessary to prevent further violence.

The protests reflect growing resentment across Ladakh. People who once cheered the abrogation of Article 370 now feel betrayed. Youths face rising unemployment, and the absence of Sixth Schedule protections has deepened frustration. Because of these unkept promises, many locals have taken to the streets despite curfew orders.

Meanwhile, civil society groups have urged calm, yet they also demanded urgent talks with the Centre. Until promises are honored, they warned, unrest will likely continue. The BJP government faces mounting pressure to deliver solutions and restore peace.

In a pointed post on X, Kejriwal urged people to read about Wangchuk. “The person who thinks about the country, education, and creates new inventions faces torment from the central government’s cheap politics,” he wrote. This outcry comes amid unrest in Ladakh, where Wangchuk recently ended a 14-day hunger strike. For five years, he has protested peacefully for statehood and inclusion in the Sixth Schedule, even walking barefoot from Leh to Delhi to highlight these demands.

Authorities in Leh responded by imposing strict restrictions under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The District Magistrate banned assemblies of five or more people and prohibited processions without prior approval. Similar statehood calls echo in Jammu and Kashmir since the 2019 abrogation of Article 370.

Yet, the Government of India maintains active engagement. It has held multiple meetings with the Apex Body Leh and Kargil Democratic Alliance through the High-Powered Committee and sub-committees. More talks are scheduled for September 25-26 and October 6. Kejriwal’s bold stance spotlights the tension between activism and governance in India’s sensitive border regions.
