  • Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who was on an indefinite hunger strike in support of various demands, accepted water and broke his fast on Friday morning, the Punjab government told the Supreme Court.

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal ended his indefinite fast on February 16, 2023, after accepting water, following a call from the Punjab government to engage in dialogue. The fast was part of a broader protest by farmers demanding a legal guarantee for the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for their crops. The Punjab government, in response to the ongoing protests, has agreed to discuss the farmers' demands in the upcoming Supreme Court session. This development comes amidst significant farmer unrest, with protests also occurring at the Punjab-Haryana border, where farmers have been met with tear gas and water cannons by the Haryana Police. The situation has drawn attention to the plight of farmers and the need for a resolution to their long-standing issues regarding agricultural pricing and support.
