Delhi High Court Seeks Centre, Delhi Government's Response on Plea to End Sonam Wangchuk's Hunger Strike
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has asked the Central Government and the Delhi Government to submit their responses to a petition seeking urgent intervention in the ongoing hunger strike by environmentalist and educationist Sonam Wangchuk. The matter was listed on priority after concerns were raised about his health and the need for immediate action.
Court Seeks Government's Stand
During the hearing, the petitioner urged the court to direct the concerned authorities to take necessary steps to address the situation and ensure Wangchuk’s well-being. Taking note of the submissions, the High Court issued notices to both governments and sought their official stand on the matter.
The court did not pass any immediate directions but indicated that it would examine the responses before considering the next course of action. The matter is expected to be heard again after the governments file their replies.
Hunger Strike Draws National Attention
Sonam Wangchuk has been on a hunger strike to highlight issues concerning Ladakh, including environmental protection, sustainable development, and constitutional safeguards for the region. His protest has received support from various social organisations, environmental activists, and citizens, who have called for constructive dialogue between the government and the protestors.
The petition before the High Court reflects growing concern over the prolonged protest and its possible impact on Wangchuk’s health. Supporters believe that discussions between all stakeholders could help address the concerns being raised.
With notices now issued, the Centre and the Delhi Government are expected to place their positions before the court during the next hearing. The High Court will then decide whether any further directions are required based on the submissions made by both sides.
The case has attracted widespread public attention as discussions continue around Ladakh’s future, environmental conservation, and the demands raised during the ongoing protest. Further developments are expected after the next hearing in the Delhi High Court.
