Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk will not pursue the path of agitation after he is released from detention under the National Security Act (NSA) but will continue to be part of the movement to demand constitutional safeguards for Ladakh through discussion and dialogue, said Gitanjali J. Angmo, his wife and the co-founder of Himalayan Institute of Alternative Learning (HIAL).

“Who wants to sit on a fast for 15-30 days every time? September 24 [2025] was a black day. Instead of agitation and protests, once he is released, we will look for a solution through dialogue and collaboration. We will make Ladakh a role model,” Ms. Angmo told The Hindu in an interview on Monday.
