Earlier on March 14, Kumar welcomed the decision of the Union Home Ministry to revoke the detention of social activist Sonam Wangchuk, stating that it was a positive step by the Central Government towards fostering an environment of peace, harmony, stability and mutual trust in the Ladakh region.
According to an official release, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised that Ladakh has always been known for the patriotic spirit, nationalism, and peaceful nature of its people. He observed that these values are deeply embedded in the culture and traditions of the region and have played a vital role in maintaining harmony and social cohesion.
Saxena stated that all concerns and issues can be resolved amicably through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding. He underlined that there is no place for agitation, bandhs, or violence in Ladakh and stressed that such actions do not contribute to meaningful progress. Instead, he said, the path of cooperation and peaceful engagement should be followed to achieve lasting solutions.
The Lieutenant Governor reiterated that the UT Administration remains committed to inclusive development, good governance, and constructive dialogue with all stakeholders to ensure peace, stability, and prosperity in Ladakh.
Wangchuk was taken into custody on September 26, 2025, two days after protests in Leh demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
