### Delhi High Court Allows Transfer of Sonam Wangchuk to Medanta Hospital Amid Hunger Strike Concerns

The Delhi High Court on Thursday granted permission for the transfer of climate activist and engineer Sonam Wangchuk to Medanta Hospital, citing the need for continuous medical observation and care. This decision was taken after Wangchuk was on a hunger strike for several days at the AIIMS Trauma Centre in New Delhi. The court's decision came as a relief to Wangchuk's family and supporters, who were concerned about his health and well-being.

The Central government expressed no objection to Wangchuk's transfer to Medanta Hospital, stating they would take immediate steps to facilitate the move. Medanta Hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and a specialized team of medical professionals, which would enable Wangchuk to receive the necessary care for his health condition. This move is expected to address concerns about Wangchuk's hunger strike and the impact it could have on his health.

Wangchuk's family and supporters have been closely monitoring the situation and are grateful to the Delhi High Court for taking this decision. Sonam Wangchuk has, however, announced that he will continue his fast, despite being shifted to Medanta Hospital. He cited police action against protesters outside the AIIMS Trauma Centre, which led to his decision to continue the hunger strike.
