Police said the crowd gathered under the Panjab University Bachao Morcha banner. They removed barricades, broke the gate lock, and attempted to enter the campus. Officers tried to stop them. A scuffle followed. Several policemen suffered injuries, including DSP SPS Sondhi and Inspector Rohit Kumar. Doctors at GMSH-16 treated them and later discharged them.

Investigators reviewed CCTV footage, videos and photographs. They began identifying each person involved. Notices and arrests are likely soon. Officials stressed that the group included students, activists and several outsiders. Their actions disturbed the peace and blocked government officials on duty.

Police officers also said the presence of cameras and media personnel encouraged some protesters to act aggressively. The gathering later turned into an unlawful assembly.

The protest, which began peacefully, turned chaotic on the 14th day, prompting local authorities to intervene. Several people were reportedly injured, and property was damaged during the unrest. In response to the escalating situation, Wangchuk decided to call off his strike to prevent further violence.

Speaking after ending the hunger strike, Wangchuk reiterated his commitment to addressing critical issues in Ladakh, including sustainable development, climate change adaptation, and reforms in local education systems. “While I had hoped for faster government action, the safety of the community comes first. We must continue to advocate for change peacefully,” he said.

Wangchuk, widely known for his innovative work in education and engineering solutions for Ladakh, has previously been recognized internationally for his efforts to improve learning environments and promote ecological sustainability in the region. His 15-day hunger strike had drawn national attention, highlighting pressing concerns about environmental preservation, youth education, and governance in Ladakh.

Authorities have assured that the concerns raised during the protest will be reviewed, and officials have promised dialogue with Wangchuk and local community leaders to find long-term solutions.

The incident underscores the delicate balance between activism and public safety, as Wangchuk’s movement continues to inspire discussions on citizen-led advocacy and responsible governance in remote regions of India.
