24 August 2025: The Chief Secretary and Deputy Commissioner, Leh, on Saturday clarified that the land allotment issue involving educationist and innovator Sonam Wangchuk is a unique case. They stated that the lease was cancelled only due to non-utilisation for the proposed university, while the allotment order remains intact.
The officials assured that no land will be taken back from people using state or barren land for agriculture or housing, provided that proper documentation is in place.
They underlined that the land originally granted by the Maharaja for agricultural purposes should be utilised accordingly, and the recent cancellation was linked to procedural lapses rather than revocation of rights. To streamline such matters, a committee has been constituted to update and organise land records.
The administration also acknowledged the immense support from local Gobas during the recent Indus cleanup drive and appealed for similar cooperation in resolving land-related issues.

23 August 2025: The Apex Body of Leh, along with several community leaders, has strongly condemned the recent order issued by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Leh concerning the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives, Ladakh (HIAL). Terming the move a political witch-hunt,they alleged that it was an attempt to silence critical voices.The leaders accused the administration of deliberately failing to upgrade the lease agreement despite repeated reminders, thereby undermining the authority of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC). They recalled that the land for HIAL was allotted in 2018–19 through the initiative of innovator Sonam Wangchuk, in consultation with His Holiness the Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche. Since then, the institute has graduated over 500 students under an alternative educational model distinct from conventional universities.
Describing the order as dirty politics aimed at weakening the movement for Ladakh’s constitutional safeguards, leaders cautioned that such measures would not succeed in breaking the region’s unity. Our demand is constitutional. We will not remain silent, and any consequences will rest with those attempting to suppress our voice,they warned.
