Social activist Sonam Wangchuk remains admitted at Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital as doctors continue to monitor his vital parameters closely. Blood sugar levels remain below normal, and potassium measures 3.2 mEq/L. Lab tests show mild anemia and reduced white blood cell counts.
Doctors emphasize continuous evaluation, while Wangchuk consumes ORS and potassium supplements. However, he refuses IV fluids and glucose, following personal choice despite medical advice.
Hospital and Expert Teams Monitor Water Deficiency and Health Risks
Due to prolonged fasting and water deficiency, specialists from Safdarjung and AIIMS monitor Wangchuk rigorously.
Medical teams provide necessary interventions while ensuring ongoing safety. Doctors stress that uninterrupted vigilance is critical to prevent deterioration and maintain stability.
Hunger Strike Context and Political Background
Wangchuk has maintained an indefinite hunger strike since June 28, demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over alleged paper leaks. His protest supports CJP-led demonstrations calling for accountability in the education system.
Delhi Police transported Wangchuk to Safdarjung Hospital on July 18 for treatment. Supporters expressed concern for his health and hope for a swift recovery. Wangchuk declined hospital discharge despite requests to join the CJP’s Parliament march.
