Sonam Wangchuk, a winner of the Ramon Magsaysay Award, has been on an indefinite hunger strike for three weeks to demand the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the NEET-UG paper leak scandal.

Wangchuk’s wife told reporters that despite the climate activist’s transfer to Safdarjung Hospital, a planned march to the Parliament would go ahead.

Amarnath Yatra and Vaishno Devi Yatra, among some of the most sacred Hindu pilgrimages in India, have been temporarily suspended, according said on Saturday.
