Today, On 13th December, Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s hunger strike entered its 18th day amid critical health concerns. The Supreme Court urged urgent dialogue between the government and Dallewal, who seeks legal guarantees for MSP and has outlined 13 demands. Ongoing protests continue at the Punjab-Haryana border.
Despite Supreme Court criticism, stubble burning persists in Punjab and Haryana, contributing to severe air pollution. The Court condemned these states for inadequate actions and suggested fines are not deterring farmers. Haryana offers Rs. 1,000 per acre to prevent burning while farmers seek lasting solutions to this environmental issue.
