The Supreme Court committee, chaired by retired Justice Nawab Singh, has invited the Samyukt Kisan Morcha – coalition of over forty Indian farmer unions — for discussions on Friday. Protests erupted across Punjab in support of Jagjit Singh Dallewal, on hunger strike for 35 days, demanding 13 farm reforms. The statewide bandh has disrupted over 150 trains, including Vande Bharat, and halted bus services. Educational institutions, markets, and highways remain affected, while the Punjab government faces pressure to hospitalise Dallewal due to his deteriorating health.
