Indian court asks authorities to intervene if fasting activist's condition worsens

The Indian court has instructed authorities to keep a close watch on Sonam Wangchuk, an activist on a hunger strike for 19 days to push for the resignation of the education minister. This marks the first time a court has intervened in such a protest, as concerns over Wangchuk's health heighten among his supporters. If his condition worsens, he could be taken to a hospital, underscoring the severity of his protest and the growing pressure on the government to address his demands. This move highlights the escalating tensions and the potential implications for political and social activism in India.
