Hundreds of residents participated in a march from Singay Namgyal Chowk to Leh Polo Ground in Leh town, while a separate rally in Kargil town attracted a sizable crowd. These events coincided with the release of activist Sonam Wangchuk from jail. The Kargil Democratic Alliance (KDA) and the Leh Apex Body (LAB) had previously announced a shutdown in Ladakh for March 16.
