Fatehgarh: Punjab farmers are holding statewide mahapanchayats to protest the removal of border camps at Shambhu and Khanauri. BKU (Ekta Sidhupur) president Jagjit Singh Dallewal ended his 131-day hunger strike during a mass gathering at Sirhind grain market in Fatehgarh Sahib.
Dallewal had launched the fast on November 26, 2023 demanding legal MSP guarantees. Central ministers Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Ravneet Bittu had previously urged him to stop the protest.
