Veteran farm leader faints; panel of senior govt docs conduct ECG
Tarsem Singh Deogan

KHANAURI: Punjab government on Thursday formed a special medical board as the health of veteran farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is fast-unto-death since November 26, deteriorated further.

A four-member board comprising medical specialists conducted ECG and took blood sample of Dallewal.

This comes on a day when the top court pulled up the Punjab government for not conducting medical tests on Dallewal.

Former ADGP Jaskaran Singh and DIG Narinder Bhargav (retd), who have been camping at Khanauri, met Dallewal and managed to convince him to undergo a medical examination by the board of doctors.

"The four-member board of doctors has conducted the medical examination and has taken blood sample of Dallewal. Medical board is comprised of senior doctors of Government Rajindra Hospital. Reports of blood sample are awaited," former ADGP said.

A board was constituted hours after the 67-year-old farm leader fainted, and fell down. A team of doctors present at the site rushed to provide him medical aid.

Farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar said Dallewal's condition has worsened.
