Doctor reports first case of gunshot victim in Ladakh

Calm has returned to Sonam Norboo Memorial Hospital in Leh after the September 24 violence sparked by protests for statehood and Sixth Schedule protections, resulting in injuries from both stone-pelting and gunfire. The hospital treated around 70 injured, with four fatalities, while doctors and paramedics mobilized quickly, and many patients have since been discharged, including a critically injured individual airlifted to AIIMS.
