The Leh Ladakh "ban of non-local vehicles" situation status?

This is an email I received from Zoom Car on July 28

Dear Zoomer, This is a follow-up on the Ladakh Travel Advisory (about ban of non-local vehicles including self-drive rented cars) we had issued earlier. It has come to our notice that the situation has aggravated and all outside vehicles (even personal cars) are being restricted from entering Leh. Cases of violence, including manhandling and stone pelting, have also come to light.

In view of these unfortunate events, we would advise extreme caution to anyone who is planning to take any personal or rented vehicle in the region.

I would like to know from fellow travelers currently in the area or from those who have faced trouble in the past to tell me more about the "ban of non-local vehicles" situation.

Driving to Leh in your own vehicle can be dangerous. Have a read through this post about how people are being attacked in Leh for bringing their own cars.

Leh is not a safe place even for those who go in their own cars. Self drive rental cars are being lined up and burnt on road sides with occupants left stranded and any opposition is met with violence.

The only reason for this mess is that taxi unions who do not want outside cars coming into the region as it affects their business. They charge a lot more then the price you would pay else where in India.

I was due to leave for Leh myself but have dropped the idea.
