New Delhi: An Indian environmental activist was detained by police outside New Delhi at the end of a month-long climate protest march on foot from the Himalayas, his colleague said Tuesday.
Sonam Wangchuk, 58, and around 100 of his supporters were taken into custody on Monday night when they were intercepted by police on a major highway leading into the city.
The group had walked nearly 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) to demand more attention to climate change issues in their mountainous home region of Ladakh, on India's frontier with China, and more political autonomy for the territory.
