A pall of sorrow hangs over Leh as a magisterial inquiry has been swiftly launched into the devastating violence that claimed four lives and left one critically injured in Phyang village. The tragic incident, which unfolded merely 20 kilometres from the heart of Leh, has sent shockwaves through the quiet Himalayan region, prompting urgent calls for calm and a thorough investigation.
The clashes, reportedly rooted in a long-standing land-related dispute, escalated into a brutal confrontation, culminating in stone-pelting and other violent acts.
The District Magistrate of Leh wasted no time in ordering a high-level magisterial probe, aiming to unearth the complete truth behind the shocking turn of events.
The victims of this heartbreaking violence have been identified as Lobzang Namgyal, Rigzin Chorol (a woman), Tsering Dorjey, and Tsering Angdus – all hailing from the serene village of Gya.
In addition to the four fatalities, another individual sustained severe injuries and was immediately airlifted to Chandigarh for specialized medical care, battling for their life.
In the wake of the tragedy, local authorities have acted decisively. A police case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, with investigations now in full swing to apprehend those responsible and ascertain the precise sequence of events.
Furthermore, Section 144 of the CrPC, prohibiting public gatherings, has been imposed in the Phyang area to prevent any further escalation and maintain peace.
Political leaders and community representatives have expressed their profound grief and extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
Lieutenant Governor Brig (Retd) BD Mishra of Ladakh and Ladakh MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal were among those who offered their sympathies and urged the community to remain peaceful during this difficult time, emphasizing the need for justice to be served and harmony restored in the region. The community now awaits the findings of the magisterial inquiry, hoping for swift justice and a path towards healing.
