As the health of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal who is on a hunger strike at Khanauri deteriorates, deputy commissioners of Jind and Ambala have written to their Sangrur counterpart, asking to provide immediate medical assistance to the veteran leader amid apprehension that any untoward incident may escalate protests. Deputy commissioners of Jind and Ambala have written to their Sangrur counterpart, asking to provide immediate medical assistance to farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal. “Dallewal has been on an indefinite hunger strike at the Khanauri Border since November 26 and during a recent press conference organised by farmer leaders, it was disclosed that his weight has significantly reduced, and his health has deteriorated. In this view, you are requested to provide him with appropriate medical facilities immediately and take all necessary measures to ensure that the ongoing farmers movement at the borders is not adversely affected and that law and order is maintained.” A copy of the letters was also sent to the chief secretaries and director generals of police of Punjab and Haryana, as well as other concerned officials of both the states.
