Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the Punjab government, said some progress has been made in connection with the shifting of Dallewal to a makeshift hospital, which has now been set up 10 metres from the protest site.Sibal also informed the bench that representatives of the central government are also meeting the protesting farmers.On January 6, the septuagenarian farmer leader met the apex court-appointed panel after the Punjab government said the protesting farmers were persuaded to meet Justice (retd) Nawab Singh, who chairs the committee.Dallewal, who is the convener of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) (non-political), began his indefinite hunger strike on November 26, 2024.He refused medical aid offered by the Punjab government and his health deteriorated recently.Farmers, under the banners of SKM and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13 last year, after their march to Delhi was stopped by security forces.
