Ladakh Orders Wangchuk-Founded School to Halt Classes
Ladakh's administration has told Desert Flower School in Phyang, Leh, to stop its classes and other activities while the High Court considers the case. The notice says the school began operating without the required consent, clearances or approvals from competent authorities. The school's founder is climate and education activist Sonam Wangchuk.
