Activist Sonam Wangchuk, known for his advocacy for Ladakh’s environmental protection and greater autonomy, has issued a message from the hospital urging participants to continue their “Make Parliament March” successfully. The brief statement, his first since hospitalization, indicates Wangchuk is recovering but remains committed to the cause. The march aims to pressure the central government to address Ladakh’s concerns regarding environmental safeguards and constitutional protections following the region’s transition to a Union Territory. He emphasizes the importance of continuing the movement despite his absence. Supporters have been marching toward Parliament in Delhi to highlight demands for inclusion in the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, which would grant greater autonomy and protect the region’s unique tribal identity. Wangchuk’s message serves as a rallying cry, emphasizing perseverance in the face of adversity. The march seeks to draw national attention to the vulnerabilities faced by Ladakh’s fragile ecosystem and its people.
