Jagjit Singh Dallewal, 70, continues his fast-unto-death at the Khanauri border, demanding legal guarantees for Minimum Support Price (MSP). Doctors warn of cardiac arrest and multi-organ failure, describing him as hemodynamically unstable. His prolonged hunger strike has severely weakened his immunity, putting him at risk of infections and nervous system damage. Farmers’ organizations announced symbolic hunger strikes on December 26, marking one month of his protest. Despite multiple attempts by farmer groups to march to Delhi, they were stopped by security forces. Farmers have been protesting at the Punjab-Haryana border since February.
