19 maintain fast resolve to stay with Anna Hazare

While Anna Hazare is resolved to continue fasting at New Delhi’s Ramlila Maidan, he has quite a few hardcore supporters at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan. On Day 8 of the anti-graft agitation, 19 protesters continued their fast though 49 of the original 68 broke their fast for health reasons or to more meaningfully devote themselves to the agitation.

Nanda Mandlik (52) of Vashi said, “I was given jaggery water and 10 spoons of moong dal water when I quit. My family was glad to have me home after my seven-day stay in Mahajanwadi, Dongri, with the others. I’ll now distribute pamphlets in local train.”
