APPRECIATION POST BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT: In Ladakh, where mainstream TV news is limited, most people depend on YouTube-based local media. From the beginning, our Ladakhi journalists have consistently delivered truthful, ground-reality news ,asking the right questions,

#day25 Ladakh has never felt this isolated and disenfranchised. Where are our elected leaders? Why are these bureaucrats taking all the decisions in Ladakh? Is the LAHDC Leh still existing ? #justiceforladakh

Senior Apex leader Shri Chhering Dorjay Lakrook is under house arrest to prevent him from attending a peaceful protest in Leh. These are unfortunate times for Ladakh. True peace cannot be restored in such an environment. #Ladakh #Peace #HumanRights

Wondering how India can become a Vishwaguru when its 4 pillars: Parliament, Bureaucracy, Judiciary and Media are corrupt, partisan, incapable and bereft of values? How can India transform into a country where every politician, bureaucrat, lawyer, judge, reporter and professional

#day23 Apex and KDA have announced a silent March and blackout in support of the victims. It would be great if we could have similar support from different parts of India too... #justiceforladakh

The story of J&K’s daily wagers isn’t just about salaries, it’s about survival, sacrifice, and the fight for dignity. They climb poles, touch live wires, and work through snow without safety gear, all for ₹9,000 a month, dreaming of one day being regularised. Over 400 have lost
