Activist Sonam Wangchuk has been arrested in Leh as a precautionary measure to maintain law and order and mobile and internet services have been suspended in the region. The arrest follows violent protests where four people lost their lives and 90 others were injured. These protests, led by Wangchuk, the Leh Apex Body, and the Kargil Democratic Alliance, seek full statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.. The Centre has accused Wangchuk of provoking the youth, which he denies, stating he is being made a "scapegoat." He conveyed a message to the central government that "this was no way of solving a problem." Concurrently, the FCRA license for his NGO has been cancelled and is under scrutiny. Security has been significantly heightened in Leh, with additional paramilitary forces deployed to sensitive locations.

Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, visited Indore to meet families affected by a deadly water contamination outbreak. During his visit, Gandhi lashed out at the Madhya Pradesh government, stating, 'I have come to raise their issue' and questioning how a 'smart city' like Indore lacks clean drinking water. He interacted with victims suffering from vomiting and diarrhoea, offering ₹1 lakh in financial aid to the families of the deceased. Gandhi alleged that victims' families are being intimidated and emphasized that the current fixes are merely a 'band-aid' that will fail once media attention shifts. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya dismissed the visit, labeling Gandhi a 'tourist' engaging in 'photo ops.' Local residents expressed grief, noting that while aid was offered, the fundamental issue of water scarcity and safety remains unresolved in the state.
