As court deadline nears, Dallewal continues fast
Hindustan Times Thane|December 30, 2024
With less than 48 hours left in the December 31 deadline for the Punjab government to comply with the Supreme Court's directive to persuade farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, whose indefinite hunger strike entered its 34th day on Sunday, to accept medical aid, no breakthrough could be achieved till late in the night despite intensified efforts by the state government.

PATIALA:

Farmers, primarily from Punjab, have been protesting at the Punjab-Haryana border to press the Centre for several demands, including a legal guarantee for a minimum support price (MSP) for crops.

Protesting farmers have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders since February 13, after their "Chalo Delhi" march was stopped by security forces.

A delegation, led by the retired additional director general of police (ADGP) Jaskaran Singh, met Dallewal (70), on Sunday evening, in an attempt to convince him to accept medical aid. It, however, went in vain. Late in the night, Singh alone met Dallewal and made another attempt, but to no avail.
