Social activist Sonam Wangchuk has continued his indefinite fast, raising fresh concerns about his health as medical authorities report a decline in his blood sugar levels.
According to hospital officials monitoring his condition, Wangchuk’s glucose levels have dropped below normal, indicating the physical strain of prolonged fasting. Doctors have advised close observation, warning that extended fasting without medical intervention could lead to serious complications.
Wangchuk, known for his advocacy on environmental and educational issues, began the fast as part of a protest aimed at drawing attention to concerns related to Ladakh. His demands are centered on greater safeguards for the region’s fragile ecosystem and local governance.
Despite the health risks, Wangchuk has remained firm in his decision to continue the fast. Supporters and activists have gathered in solidarity, urging authorities to engage in dialogue and address the issues he has raised.
Medical experts emphasize that prolonged fasting can significantly impact vital body functions, especially blood sugar regulation, hydration levels, and organ stability. The hospital team is reportedly conducting regular check-ups to track his condition and ensure immediate response if his health deteriorates further.
Meanwhile, calls for intervention are growing, with several groups appealing for a resolution to prevent any serious medical emergency. The situation remains closely watched as Wangchuk continues his protest under increasing health concerns.
