Amid emotional scenes, the cremation of two of the four persons killed in police firing during the Leh violence on 24 September was carried out on Sunday under strict security arrangements.
Participation in the last rites was limited to close family members, while the town remained under curfew for the fifth consecutive day.
Heavy deployment of Ladakh Police, ITBP, and CRPF was visible across the town and along the funeral procession route to prevent gatherings. Security was also tightened at the cremation site.
Earlier in the morning, Lt Governor Kavinder Gupta reviewed the security situation and emphasized vigilance, coordination, and public safety. Chief Secretary of Ladakh Dr. Pawan Kotwal, DGPS.D.Singh Jamwal, and senior officers of the CRPE, ITBP, and intelligence agencies attended the meeting.
