Darwin, 26 September — Authorities in Ladakh have enforced a curfew following widespread protests led by India’s Gen Z demographic. The demonstrations, which began as a student-led movement, have escalated into a significant challenge for the government. Protesters are voicing concerns over unemployment, educational reforms, and the perceived erosion of democratic freedoms.

The curfew, which includes restrictions on public gatherings and movement, aims to restore order and prevent further escalation. Security forces have been deployed in key areas, and internet services have been temporarily suspended to curb the spread of protest-related content.

The ‘Gen Z Protests’ have garnered national attention, with solidarity demonstrations occurring in various cities across India. While the government maintains that the curfew is necessary to maintain public order, critics argue that it infringes upon the right to peaceful assembly and expression.

As the situation develops, international observers are closely monitoring the events in Ladakh, highlighting the growing influence of younger generations in India’s political landscape.
