Sonam Wangchuk hospitalised: How prolonged fasting affects the body — and can turn fatal
Activist Sonam Wangchuk was hospitalized by the Delhi Police on the 21st day of his hunger strike, which he initiated to demand reforms in the examination system. Prolonged fasting can lead to severe health issues, including dehydration and organ damage, prompting the Delhi High Court to order health monitoring for Wangchuk. While currently stable, he requires ongoing observation and treatment to recover from the effects of fasting.
