“The situation remained by and large peaceful in the curfew-bound areas with no untoward incident reported from anywhere.
The curfew was imposed in Leh town on Wednesday evening following widespread violent protests during a shutdown called by the Leh Apex Body (LAB) to advance talks with the Centre on the demands for statehood and extension of the Sixth Schedule to Ladakh.
More than 150 persons, including some 80 policemen, were also injured in the clashes.
Over 60 persons, including two councilors, were taken into custody.
