Ladakh councillor questions relevance of Shivaji statue at Pangong Lake

New Delhi: Konchok Stanzin,a Ladakh councillor, has raised questions over the relevance of the Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji’s statue, that has been installed on the banks of Pangong Lake by the Indian Army. Pointing to the absence of local involvement in its creation, Stanzin, a local resident, underscored the need to focus on projects that better reflect and honour the community and nature.

The Chushul councillor said: “As a local resident, I must voice my concerns about the Shivaji statue at Pangong. It was erected without local input, and I question its relevance to our unique environment and wildlife. Let’s prioritize projects that truly reflect and respect our community and nature.”

The inauguration of the Shivaji statue comes only weeks after India and China finished the disengagement process at the last two friction points, Demchok and Depsang, ending an almost four-and-a-half-year-long border standoff.

This year, the region has witnessed widespread protests, with thousands of people, including Sonam Wangchuk, calling for greater autonomy for Ladakh. The protests were aimed at bringing to fore the damage caused by industrialisation to the fragile ecology and glaciers of the Himalayan region.
