Wangchuk Ends Hunger Strike After Government Pledges Action on Paper Leaks

Climate activist and educator Sonam Wangchuk concluded his hunger strike after receiving written assurances from the government regarding examination paper leaks. Authorities committed to establishing fast-track courts and imposing stricter penalties on those responsible for the leaks. New education secretaries were appointed, indicating significant administrative changes within the ministry. The protest, driven largely by youth, leveraged social media platforms to challenge conventional political communication channels. The movement gained enough momentum to prompt a direct response from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
