Just a quick heads-up for those plannoing to go there in the next few days:

SRINAGAR: Curfew was clamped on the communally sensitive Leh district of Ladakh after miscreants tried to disrupt the Muharram procession on Thursday. Army had to be called in to help the district administration maintain peace...

Very sad that a place like Leh is also not spared from Communal tension.

Yes, it was the most depressing piece of news I read today morning. Can't imagine that paradise being under curfew!

As of an hour or two back, I've heard that the strife has spread to Srinagar and Kargil too. News flashes on TV show slogans being raised against the Ladakh Adminstration.
