Delhi govt to provide water, power to fast site

Delhi govt said it was ready to provide facilities like water, power and sanitation in Ramlila ground for Anna`s fast.

New Delhi: Delhi government on Thursday said it
was ready to provide facilities like water, power and
sanitation in Ramlila ground where Anna Hazare will launch
his indefinite fast for 15 days demanding a strong Lokpal
Bill.

Delhi Chief Secretary PK Tripathi said the facilities
will be provided if Team Anna approaches the government for
them.

"If they ask for the facilities, then definitely we will
provide the facilities," said Tripathi.

Delhi government had provided water, power and sanitation
services in Ram Lila Maidan when yoga guru Ramdev had held his
protest there in June.

Delhi government, which had allowed police use of
Chhatrasal Stadium to keep the supporters of Hazare detained
on Tuesday, said no loss of property was reported during the
protest by Hazare supporters anywhere in the city including
in the stadium.

"Usually, public properties are somehow damaged in any
protest. But we have not come across any damage to any public
properties in the protest by Hazare supporters," said an
official.
