Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was admitted to Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital on Saturday after police removed him from Jantar Mantar during the third week of his indefinite hunger strike. The hospital said he was stable but weak from prolonged fasting and dehydration and would require continued medical supervision.
The police action prompted fresh protests and sharp Opposition criticism, even as authorities denied allegations of a lathi charge or detentions. Cockroach Janta Party founding president Abhijeet Dipke has now begun an indefinite fast, while supporters say their proposed march on July 20 remains on schedule.
