As climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's indefinite hunger strike entered its 18th day, a petition was filed before the Delhi High Court seeking immediate medical intervention, including permission for force-feeding if necessary. The plea highlights growing concerns over Wangchuk's deteriorating health and urges authorities to take urgent steps to prevent a medical emergency.
The petition requests directions to both the Central Government and the Delhi Government to shift Wangchuk to a government hospital for continuous medical supervision. It argues that the activist's prolonged fast has reached a critical stage and that immediate healthcare support is essential.
The legal move comes amid increasing concern from supporters and public figures over Wangchuk's physical condition. Reports suggest he has experienced significant weight loss during the hunger strike, intensifying calls for medical attention and intervention.
Wangchuk has been observing an indefinite fast at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi as part of his ongoing protest. While the demonstration has continued to draw public attention, the focus has increasingly shifted toward his health as the fast extends into its third week.
The Delhi High Court is expected to consider the plea as authorities monitor the activist's condition. The case has also renewed discussion around the balance between an individual's right to protest and the state's responsibility to safeguard life and public health.
