Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk and Leh Apex Body (LAB) decided to call off the border march on Sunday, as the Ladakh Lieutenant Governor’s administration stepped up measures to block the proposed event from going forward.
“In view of the (recent) developments and the fact that the whole nation now knows about the reality of our pasture lands at the borders, the leaders of the apex body today decided to call off the Pashmina March on 7th April. The ongoing peaceful fast will however continue. We thank all the leaders and people who came here from different parts of the country,” the LAB and Mr. Wangchuk said in a joint statement on Saturday.
