The office of the Lieutenant Governor reiterated the commitment to fulfil the Prime Minister's vision for Ladakh's development and mark it among the top tourist sites on the map.

Earlier on March 14, Kumar welcomed the decision of the Union Home Ministry to revoke the detention of social activist Sonam Wangchuk, stating that it was a positive step by the Central Government towards fostering an environment of peace, harmony, stability and mutual trust in the Ladakh region.

According to an official release, the Lieutenant Governor emphasised that Ladakh has always been known for the patriotic spirit, nationalism, and peaceful nature of its people. He observed that these values are deeply embedded in the culture and traditions of the region and have played a vital role in maintaining harmony and social cohesion.

Saxena stated that all concerns and issues can be resolved amicably through constructive dialogue and mutual understanding. He underlined that there is no place for agitation, bandhs, or violence in Ladakh and stressed that such actions do not contribute to meaningful progress. Instead, he said, the path of cooperation and peaceful engagement should be followed to achieve lasting solutions.

Wangchuk was taken into custody on September 26, 2025, two days after protests in Leh demanding statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
