Geetanjali Angmo, wife of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk, met her husband in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur jail on Tuesday, their first meeting since his detention under the National Security Act (NSA).

“Met @Wangchuk66 today with @RitamKhare and got the detention order which we will challenge,” Angmo wrote on X. She added that Wangchuk’s “spirit is undaunted. His commitment resolute! His resilience intact! He conveys heartfelt thanks to all for their support and solidarity.”

Angmo’s meeting came a day after the Supreme Court (SC) issued notices to the Centre and the Ladakh administration on her petition seeking Wangchuk’s immediate release from detention under the NSA, 1980. Angmo’s petition is scheduled for October 14 the SC.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
