BREAKING NEWS – GUWAHATI RISES FOR SONAM WANGCHUK
Breaking news from Guwahati. As nationwide protests over the NEET controversy continue to gather momentum, a powerful wave of solidarity has now reached India’s Northeast. Young people across Assam have taken to the streets in support of climate activist and education reformer Sonam Wangchuk, who remains hospitalised after an extended hunger strike in Delhi demanding accountability over the NEET examination controversy and broader education reforms.
Artists painting murals reading: ‘SAVE SONAM WANGCHUK’, ‘JUSTICE FOR NEET VICTIMS’, and ‘END EXAM TERROR’. Police personnel approach the site as onlookers gather.
Two young artists, Nakul Mili and Gaurav Singha, were detained by police near Jyoti Bishnu Auditorium while painting murals expressing support for Wangchuk and calling for justice for students. Supporters say the murals were a peaceful appeal to protect a man they describe as having sacrificed his health in pursuit of accountability and reform.
As Sonam Wangchuk continues his fast under medical supervision, his message is finding new voices across the country. From the streets of Delhi to the banks of the Brahmaputra, students, artists, activists, and ordinary citizens are transforming walls, banners, and public spaces into symbols of protest.
Their question echoes across the gathering crowd: ‘How many more sacrifices will it take before the system listens?’ Crowd: “Sonam Wangchuk Zindabad!” “Justice for Students!” “Education, Not Corruption!” “
With Parliament’s Monsoon Session underway and demonstrations continuing in several cities, what began as one man’s hunger strike has evolved into a broader movement demanding transparency, accountability, and reform. Whether these voices lead to meaningful political action remains to be seen. One thing is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore: The call for change is spreading. From the mountains of Ladakh to the streets of Guwahati, the movement continues to grow. Will the government respond… or will the protests intensify in the days ahead?
