<div>Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk was released from Jodhpur Central Jail today after the Union government decided to revoke his NSA detention with immediate effect.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Wangchuk was detained on September 26 last year under the National Security Act (NSA) pursuant to an order issued by the Leh district magistrate, two days after protests over demands for statehood for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution rocked Leh.
<div>&nbsp;</div>
&nbsp;He has already undergone nearly half of the detention period stipulated under the Act.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"He was released from jail at about 1.30 pm today following an order from the central government," Ratanada Police Station SHO Dinesh Lakhawat said.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>His wife, Geetanjali Angmo, was here to complete the formalities.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>More than 45 people, including 22 policemen, were injured in the protests.</div>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>"The government has been actively engaging with various stakeholders and community leaders in Ladakh with a view to addressing the aspirations and concerns of the people of the region," said an official statement.&nbsp;</div>
