Confirming the development, Dinesh Lakhawat, Station House Officer of Ratanada Police Station, said that the release was carried out after receiving the official directive.<\/p>\n<p>Wangchuk had been detained on September 26 last year under the provisions of the National Security Act (NSA). The detention order was issued by the district magistrate of Leh, citing preventive measures under the law. Under the NSA, authorities can detain individuals for extended periods to prevent activities considered a threat to national security or public order.<\/p>\n<p>During his time in custody, Wangchuk spent nearly half of the detention period stipulated under the Act. Officials did not immediately provide detailed reasons for the government\u2019s decision to revoke the detention order, but confirmed that the order came directly from the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Sonam Wangchuk, who hails from Ladakh, is widely known for his work in sustainable development, education reform and climate advocacy in the Himalayan region. Over the years, he has been involved in several initiatives aimed at promoting environmentally sustainable technologies and community-based education systems in high-altitude areas.<\/p>\n<p>His detention last year had drawn attention from activists and supporters who had expressed concern over the use of the National Security Act against a climate campaigner. The revocation of his detention and subsequent release have therefore been seen as a significant development by observers following the case.<\/p>\n<p>Following his release from the Jodhpur jail, Wangchuk is expected to travel back to Ladakh in the coming days. Further details regarding his plans or any public statements from him after the release were not immediately available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate Activist Sonam Wangchuk Released from Jodhpur Central Jail. &nbsp;
