Sonam Wangchuk continues indefinite fast as protesters reclaim Jantar Mantar site

Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has announced he will continue his indefinite fast, expressing admiration for the peaceful conduct of protesters despite what he described as provocation. Wangchuk said he was "touched and moved" by the discipline shown by demonstrators at the Jantar Mantar protest site in Delhi, which was reclaimed by protesters after a police action. The protest, one of the largest in the national capital in recent years, saw several people injured during the police intervention. The exact number of injuries remains unclear. Following the police action, protesters regrouped and reoccupied the site, vowing to continue their agitation. Wangchuk, who started his fast earlier this week demanding action on climate change and other issues, stated that he would not call off his protest until their demands are met. The indefinite fast has drawn attention from various quarters, with supporters gathering at the site to show solidarity. Authorities have not yet commented on the police action or the ongoing protest. The situation remains tense as both sides maintain their positions.
