Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was shifted to VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital by Delhi Police on the 21st day of his indefinite hunger strike at Jantar Mantar after his health deteriorated. The move followed medical concerns and a Delhi High Court directive to ensure his safety. Wangchuk has been fasting in support of student protesters demanding accountability over alleged irregularities in national entrance examinations. Authorities said the transfer was necessary to provide urgent medical care, while supporters continued demonstrations, urging the government to engage in dialogue and address the protesters' demands.
