Steep rents force Anna to search for new Mumbai venue

Mumbai's notoriously tough accommodation has proved to be near-insurmountable even for Anna Hazare and his team of activists, who plan to hold a protest camp in the city for three days, starting December 27. After being told it would have to pay 11 lakhs in rental fee for the MMRDA Ground, Team Anna says it may go to court to demand an appropriate alternative. Anna's aide Mayank Gandhi said supporters may offer donations to help the activists, but "we don't support a five-star protest."
