Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on hunger strike for the last 51 days, is exhibiting indicators of starvation ketosis (when the body, which isn't getting glucose from starch, burns stored fat for energy) but most of his other health parameters are in the normal range, according to his latest medical reports dated January 10 and January 14, copies of which have been seen by Hindustan Times.

CHANDIGARH:

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court, worried about the fasting leader's fading health, directed the Punjab government to furnish a complete set of comparative medical reports of Dallewal, who has been on hunger strike since November 26, 2024, for an independent evaluation by the director of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

According to the January 10 and January 14 reports, Dallewal's haemoglobin, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels are within range. The blood test reports, however, show high levels of ketones.
