Delhi govt to provide water, power at Anna fast site

Delhi government today said it was ready to provide facilities like water, power and sanitation in Ram Lila 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 Ramlila 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 any where 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.
