Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, currently held under the National Security Act in a Jodhpur jail, is seeking permission to use a thermometer for eco-responsive architecture experiments. His wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, has brought attention to his innovative pursuits from behind bars.

In her recent statement, Angmo shared details of their meeting, during which she delivered books on ants and climate change to Wangchuk. These books were part of his request, reflecting his continued interest in environmental strategies and community behavior, even while in solitary confinement.

Wangchuk, a Magsaysay Award winner known for his contributions to education and sustainability, faces legal battles with Angmo filing a habeas corpus petition for his release. The petition aims to resume his vital work for national betterment.
