Chandigarh, Jan 15: Ramping up the pressure on the government, a group of 111 farmers began a fast-unto-death on Wednesday in solidarity with their leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, and vowed they won’t relent until their demands are met.
Farmer leaders said the new ‘jatha’, who are all in black attire, sat on the Haryana side of the border — Dallewal has been sitting on the hunger strike since November 26 last year at the Khanauri border point on the Punjab side — and arrangement are being made for tents and blankets as the temperature dips in the region.
The jurisdiction of Haryana’s Jind district begins after Khanauri. The Haryana Police has enhanced security on its side of the border and imposed Section 163 of Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, banning gathering of five or more people. (PTI)
