Financial Express Chennai|December 31, 2024
A NINE-HOUR bandh call by protesting farmers under the banner of the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha-Non Political (SKM-NP) over several demands, including legal guarantee for MSP, brought Punjab to a halt on Monday.
RAAKHI JAGGA Ludhiana, December 30

This comes a day ahead of a Supreme Court hearing in which it will take stock of the Punjab government's efforts to provide treatment to farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on indefinite hunger strike for 35 days. Dallewal has refused treatment and resisted attempts to move him to hospital.
