In a significant development, Samyukta Kisan Morcha leaders met Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, whose hunger strike has entered its eighteenth day. Rakesh Tikait, one of the prominent leaders, emphasized the importance of unity among farmers to pressurize the government to meet their demands.

Expressing concern for Dallewal's health, Tikait, along with SKM leader Harinder Singh Lakhowal, urged the government to acknowledge the issues. He hinted at a renewed strategy of surrounding Delhi via the KMP expressway to showcase the might of farmers, reminiscent of the previous agitation against repealed farm laws.

The Morcha leaders maintain that the fragmented groups must come together to form a coherent strategy for future actions. Meanwhile, protests continue at the Khanauri border, as farmers plan another march towards Delhi.
