Ladakh Administration Denies Sonam Wangchuk's Claims on Liquor Policy

Sonam Wangchuk, a prominent figure known for his work in promoting sustainable development in Ladakh, had recently alleged that the administration was promoting alcohol consumption by allowing the opening of bars in close proximity to educational institutions. He expressed concerns that this would negatively impact the youth and the overall well-being of the community. However, the Ladakh administration has strongly denied these allegations, stating that they are 'false and baseless'. They maintain that the liquor policy is in place to regulate alcohol sales and consumption responsibly, and that there is no intention to promote alcohol consumption.
