Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk began a fast at Ladakh Bhawan on Sunday, following a denial for his group to stage a protest at Jantar Mantar, demanding Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh.

Initially, Wangchuk and his supporters attempted to protest at various venues in Delhi, but all options were rejected by authorities, culminating in a fasting protest at Ladakh Bhawan.

Wangchuk, who had led a 1,000 km march, emphasizes peaceful Gandhian protest, seeking an audience with India's top leaders to advocate for Ladakh's constitutional rights.
