Farmers’ Protest: A 55-year-old farmer, Resham Singh, died by suicide after consuming poison at the Shambhu border amid ongoing protests against the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, Times of India reported. This incident follows a similar suicide by Ranjodh Singh on December 18, driven by deteriorating health conditions of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal.
In a second such incident at the agitation site within three weeks, Resham Singh was taken to the Rajindra hospital in Patiala where he died, the report added.
