Anna's village worried about his health, will visit him today

Anna's village worried about his health, will visit him today
Mumbai: Concerned about Anna Hazare's health, villagers of Ralegan Siddhi will arrive in Mumbai on Wednesday.

"About seven to eight vehicles, carrying people of Ralegan, including the village sarpanch, will reach Mumbai tomorrow," Mr Hazare's associate Datta Awari told PTI over the phone from Gandhian's native village.

The village observed a bandh on Tuesday with students going on a token day-long fast followed by a candle light march, Awari said.

They remained glued to TV to watch the proceedings at MMRDA Grounds on day one of the latest anti-corruption agitation launched by Mr Hazare, he added.

Anna aide Suresh Pathare had earlier said the activist did not have any fever and his blood pressure was also near normal. "His blood pressure was 140/86 and pulse 84," he said. There were concerns about 74-year-old Hazare's health as he was suffering from viral infection.

Mr Hazare has decided to continue with his fast rejecting appeals by his close aides Arvind Kejriwal and Kiran Bedi to call it off.
