Life seemed to be returning tonormal in Leh, which was under a curfew for a week, with authorities relaxing curbs for the whole day on Thursday and releasing 26 detained youths.

The Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA) and the All Ladakh Gonpa Association held a joint prayer meeting here and paid tributes to the four youths who were killed in the September 24 police firing here. They also paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary.
