Death-Row Convict Balwant Singh Rajoana to Receive Eye Treatment at PGIMER Chandigarh
The Punjab and Haryana High Court approved treatment for death-row convict Balwant Singh Rajoana's eye ailment at PGIMER, Chandigarh. Rajoana, convicted in the 1995 assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, sought permission for cataract surgery after developing an allergy to his prescribed power glasses. Authorities agreed to provide treatment at PGIMER, where he was examined in January. His counsel confirmed no objection if treatment is given there, and the Centre assured immediate medical care at the institute.
