A Ladakh leader reported being woken from sleep to witness climate activist Sonam Wangchuk end his hunger strike. The development came as the government accelerated communication with Wangchuk and the Climate Justice for Peace (CJP) team to ensure the protest concluded before a major incident could occur. The urgency was heightened by Delhi University colleges reopening on July 28 and the approaching weekend, prompting authorities to expedite dialogue. Wangchuk, a prominent advocate for environmental and social issues in the Himalayan region, had been on a fast to draw attention to demands related to Ladakh's rights and development. The government's swift engagement with the protesters aimed to prevent any escalation amid the resumption of academic activities. Details of the agreement that led to Wangchuk ending his fast were not disclosed. The Ladakh leader, who spoke anonymously, described being called to witness the event, emphasizing the significance of the protest's resolution. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between local activists and the central government over Ladakh's status and resource allocation.
