While the situation remained tense across the Ladakh union territory (UT), the administration on Thursday imposed prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS also in the Kargil district, where a complete shutdown was observed to protest against the killing of four youth in yesterday’s police firing and injury to more than 70 people in Leh.
