Sonam Wangchuk’s wife has publicly outlined the demands necessary for him to conclude his ongoing hunger strike. Wangchuk, an educator and innovator known for his work in Ladakh, began the fast to advocate for environmental protections and demand greater autonomy for the region. According to his wife, a key condition for ending the strike is a concrete assurance of implementation of promised safeguards for Ladakh’s land and resources. These safeguards relate to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, offering protections similar to those enjoyed by other tribal areas in India. The statement clarifies the specific actions needed from authorities for Wangchuk to consider ending his protest, which has gained national attention. His supporters are urging the government to engage in dialogue and address his concerns promptly, as his health deteriorates with each passing day. The situation highlights growing anxieties within Ladakh about environmental preservation and self-governance.
