Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s health has deteriorated further as his hunger strike enters its 75th day. Doctors have expressed serious concerns about his critical condition, warning that his body is becoming increasingly unresponsive to medical intervention.
According to doctors treating him at the Khanauri border, most of Dallewal’s veins have become blocked, making it extremely difficult to administer an intravenous (IV) drip. They have been struggling for several days to provide him with medical aid due to this complication.
Since the veins in his arms are reportedly blocked, doctors are now attempting to administer the IV drip through his leg veins. However, they caution that this method carries additional risks and could lead to further health complications.

Meanwhile, a crucial meeting between farmer organisations and the central government has been scheduled for February 14. Representatives from both political and non-political groups have been invited. Dallewal was expected to attend the meeting, but given his worsening condition, his participation remains uncertain.
The ongoing farmer agitation, which began on February 13 last year, includes 13 key demands, with the primary demand being the implementation of a minimum support price (MSP) for crops. As tensions rise, Dallewal’s health crisis adds urgency to the farmers’ struggle.
