Sonam Wangchuk ‘stable and alert’ — Medanta says vital signs within ‘accepted parameters’

Educator-activist Sonam Wangchuk, who broke his 26-day fast last night, is “stable and alert,” Medanta Hospital, Gurugram said on Friday, July 24.

Earlier this morning, Wangchuk said he decided to call off the fast only after receiving assurances from the government and MPs across parties on his key demands. He said that he extended his fast by two days because negotiations with the Centre were continuing.
