Sonam Wangchuk skipped the Cockroach Janta Party’s Delhi demonstration to focus on pressing environmental realities, acute water insecurity, and critical seasonal preparations in Ladakh before harsh winter conditions set in.
During CJP’s earlier NEET paper leak campaign, Wangchuk anchored the movement by undertaking a gruelling 26-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, which elevated the exam-reform campaign into a national talking point.
Wangchuk is actively preparing artificial glaciers to secure spring water supplies for regional agricultural communities and conducting specialized experiments to manage Glacial Lake Outburst Floods to neutralize over 200 high-risk glacial lakes in the high Himalayas.
