The Supreme Court on Monday noted that the union government has revoked Sonam Wangchuk's detention, saying nothing is left in the matter. The top court also disposed of a plea filed by Gitanjali J Angmo, wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, against his detention under the National Security Act.

Leh-based climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, who returned to the region after his release from detention, has claimed he is ready to engage in dialogue on issues linked to Ladakh.

Wangchuk said he felt positive about returning to the mountains after nearly six months."I am feeling very good. After 170 days, coming to these mountains and meeting people, I hope that a new sun will rise for the cause for which we are working. We are moving forward with hope. We hope that there will be such an atmosphere from all sides, and I would like to thank the people of the entire country who supported us in this struggle. Looking forward to meeting people," Wangchuk said.

Wangchuk was released from Jodhpur Central Jail after the government revoked his detention under the National Security Act. The scientist had been in custody since September 26, 2025.

Previously, commenting on his detention, Wangchuk said the time allowed him time for personal reflection. He stated that while there were issues from a justice perspective, he does not want to hold any bitterness and is willing to move forward through discussions.

"In my personal life, I would say it was positive. It was an experience that gave me time to reflect on myself. From a justice perspective, many mistakes were made, and many wrongs were done, and these mistakes should never happen to anyone. But the way they were withdrawn, I understand that there is an awareness of those mistakes," he said.

Wangchuk had also asserted that his time in jail was a "huge horror story" and spoke about the difficulties faced by his wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, in seeking legal recourse.

Wangchuk was detained two days after protests in Leh demanding statehood for Ladakh and inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. The climate activist was detained in September 2025 under the strict National Security Act (NSA) for allegedly making "provocative speeches" and leading protests for Ladakh's statehood and constitutional protections (Sixth Schedule), which authorities claimed disrupted public order.
