Dalewal’s Hunger Strike: SC Criticizes Punjab Government and Seeks Central Help for Hospital Shifting

Punjab: In a recent development, farmer leader Balbir Singh Dalewal’s hunger strike has drawn sharp criticism from the Supreme Court, which has chastised the Punjab government for its failure to address the issue of hospital shifting. The SC accused the state government of creating problems and then claiming that there was little they could do to resolve the issue. The case involves the relocation of a hospital, a matter that has sparked protests in the region.

Dalewal, who has been protesting against the shifting of the hospital, is now on a hunger strike to draw attention to the situation. He claims that the Punjab government’s inaction has led to immense hardships for the public, and the local residents are suffering due to the lack of essential healthcare services in the area. The protest has gained significant attention, with Dalewal appealing to the Supreme Court for intervention.

The Supreme Court, in its remarks, expressed frustration with the state government, highlighting the lack of proper action to resolve the issue. The court suggested that the Punjab government should take more responsibility for addressing the concerns of the people, rather than passing the blame. At the same time, the court urged the central government to step in and offer assistance in the shifting of the hospital to ensure the continuity of essential healthcare services.

Dalewal, in his protest, has called for the central government’s intervention, urging them to help resolve the issue and ensure that healthcare facilities are not disrupted. The Supreme Court has taken the matter seriously and is monitoring the situation closely to ensure that the Punjab government acts swiftly.

This case brings to light the ongoing struggles related to healthcare infrastructure in the state and raises questions about the responsibilities of the state and central governments in addressing such issues
