HYDERABAD: The city’s anti-corruption brigade have decided to show full support for the proposed fast by Anna Hazare from December 11 for a strong Lokpal bill. “We have decided to hold a dharna on December 11 and 12 in support of Anna Hazare,” said P Rama Krishna, member of the Hyderabad chapter of India Against Corruption and founder, Its Time to Make a Difference, an NGO.In an e-mail waiting to be sent to members of the IAC, Manali, an active coordinator in Hyderabad, has called for large-scale mobilisation of people by roping in colony associations, NGOs and colleges. The venue has been mentioned as Dharna Chowk in Indira Park, where the previous dharna was held in August.The organisation also plans to raise awareness on the Jan Lokpal bill over the next few days to ensure volunteers and participants at the dharna remain fully informed. On December 1, a Jan Lokpal awareness programme will be held at MVSR College, Saroornagar followed by another awareness programme at Malla Reddy Institute of Management, Kompally on December 2. There will also be an awareness programme and volunteers’ meeting at Madhusudhan Nagar community hall on December 4.Although the decision on whether to fast or not will be decided only upon receiving a proper plan of action from Delhi, Rama Krishna said that similar to the earlier dharna, at least four to five people are expected to fast daily at the venue. “We have applied for permission for a peaceful protest, though the timings may be restricted to between 9 a.m and 5 p.m.”
