Jammu: Ladakh-based climate activist and innovator Sonam Wangchuk has called for building mutual trust and engaging in meaningful dialogue with the Indian government following his release from detention.<\/p>\n

In a statement, he described the past several months as an \u201cunjust ordeal\u201d but stressed that anger and bitterness would not help the cause he has been advocating. He said the situation should be viewed as an opportunity to build trust and move towards constructive engagement.<\/p>\n
