Prominent public figures have appealed to environmental activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike while urging the Central government to initiate meaningful dialogue over his demands. Wangchuk's protest focuses on greater constitutional safeguards, environmental protection, and sustainable development for Ladakh. Supporters acknowledged the importance of his cause but expressed concern over the serious health risks posed by his prolonged fast. They stressed that discussions and democratic engagement offer the best path toward resolving the issue.
