Mumbai: Concern over Anna Hazare's health
weighing on their minds, villagers of Ralegan Siddhi are
reaching Mumbai on the second day of his fast for a strong
Lokpal Bill.
"About seven to eight vehicles, carrying people of
Ralegan, including the village sarpanch, are reaching Mumbai,"
Hazare's associate Datta Awari told PTI over phone from the
Gandhian's native village.
The village observed a bandh yesterday as students
went on a token day-long fast and a candle-light march was
taken out.
They remained glued to TV to watch the proceedings at
MMRDA ground on day one of the latest anti-corruption
agitation launched by Hazare, he said.
Hazare has decided to continue with his fast rejecting
appeals by his close aides Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi to
call it off.
