Sorry, could not take better pics of the centre stage as the view is blocked by the Media people who are permanently stationed there with large umbrellas etc which blocked people's views. Organisers should have provide them with a raised platform. Many are not happy with it as they could not see Anna clearly for whom they come here from far and wide.


Anna-ji 74, was not seen all the times as he was taking rest in an enclosed section within the centre stage or platform.

Variety of food or meals in decent but disposable thalies was served to all which includes snacks, sweets, teas, breakfast, packed water etc.
Copies of Newspapers too were available at free of cost.


Here is
Remo Fernandes song 'India Against Corruption', Backup Anna Hazare etc
