Doctors take Dallewal’s blood samples, conduct ultrasound

Amidst reports of deteriorating health and dwindling blood pressure of SKM (Non-Political) chief Jagjit Singh Dallewal, a high-level team of doctors, led by Principal Secretary (Health) Kumar Rahul, visited Khanauri to examine the fasting farmer leader on Thursday.

Deputy Commissioner Dr Preeti Yadav and SSP Dr Nanak Singh also accompanied the team.

After meeting farmer leaders Baldev Singh Sirsa, Abhimanyu Kohar and Kaka Singh Kotra, the team went to the glass cubicle where the farmer leader had been kept.

The team reportedly examined Dallwal, took his blood samples and performed an ultrasound of his abdomen. The medical reports would be released on Friday.

A medical team from Rajindra Medical College and Mata Kaushalya Hospital, Patiala, is already deployed at Khanauri to continuously monitor Dallewal’s health. Two advanced life support (ALS) ambulances are also available there 24 hours a day. A temporary hospital equipped with all emergency equipment and medicines has also been set up near the protest site.
