Sonam Wangchuk wants thermometer for experiments, says wife

New Delhi: Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has asked for a thermometer in the Jodhpur jail to conduct experiments on eco-responsive architecture to make jail barracks better, his wife and HIAL co-founder Gitanjali J Angmo said on Wednesday.

In a post on X, Angmo said she met Wanghuk on Tuesday, and gave him books on ants and one on climate change, as requested by the activist. Wangchuk, a Magsaysay Award-winning activist and educator, was detained under NSA on September 26, two days after protests demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh left four dead and 90 injured in the Union territory.
