Wangchuk wants thermometer for experiments to improve jail barracks, says wife Angmo
NEW DELHI, Jan 21 (PTI): Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk has asked for a thermometer in the Jodhpur jail to conduct some 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 finally gave him books on ants and one on climate change, as was requested by the activist.
Wangchuk, a Magsaysay Award-winning activist and educator, was detained under the National Security Act (NSA) on September 26, two days after protests demanding statehood and Sixth Schedule status for Ladakh left four people dead and 90 injured in the Union territory.
