Dehydration and Blood Abnormalities Persist

The hospital said Wangchuk continues to experience mild to moderate dehydration. Doctors have also reported persistent pancytopenia, a condition involving reduced blood cell counts, including anaemia and low white blood cell levels. These findings have increased the need for constant medical observation to prevent possible complications.

Refuses Intravenous Fluids

According to the hospital, Wangchuk has accepted oral rehydration solution (ORS) and oral potassium supplements. However, he has continued to decline intravenous fluids and glucose despite repeated medical advice. Doctors said treatment decisions will continue to depend on his clinical condition and follow-up investigations.

Continuous Monitoring Recommended

Medical experts have emphasised that prolonged fasting has placed physiological stress on Wangchuk's body, making uninterrupted monitoring essential. Hospital authorities said all necessary medical care is being provided and that his condition remains under continuous evaluation.

Wangchuk is currently admitted to Safdarjung Hospital after being shifted from the CJP protest site, where he had been observing a hunger strike in support of the ongoing agitation.
