Ladakh Leaders to Resume Talks with MHA on October 6
Ladakh leaders and the government are going to have more talks about what Ladakh needs.
They want to become a full state and have special protections.
The talks stopped for about four months, but now they are starting again.
A key leader, Thupstan Chhewang, is back to help.
A group of people, including climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, had been protesting and going on hunger strikes to get the government to listen.
They are hoping for progress, and the government has sent an invitation to meet.
MHA has invited Ladakh leaders to resume talks in New Delhi on October 6.
