"We will not allow the morcha to be taken. Either we will win, or we will lay down our lives for this cause," Dallewal said in a statement to supporters, warning that government forces were being mobilised.
"A large force has already been stationed in Patran. I urge everyone who participated in the Punjab Bandh, along with the people of Haryana, to come to the Khanauri Border in full strength."

The apex court had given the Punjab government until December 31 to persuade Dallewal to shift to a hospital, granting the state liberty to seek logistical support from the Centre if necessary. Farmers at the Khanauri protest site have stepped up security, apprehending forced medical intervention by authorities, people gathered there said.
A state government team led by former additional DGP Jaskaran Singh made several attempts to convince the fasting leader to accept medical help. Following his latest meeting with Dallewal at the protest site on Monday, Singh told reporters that while the leader was weak, his condition remained "stable."
