Dear friends,
The fast started 2 hours ago at the Mankanka Ghat on the banks of the gushing Bhagirathi River. Dr G D Agarwal is the person at the bottom left of the pix. The person to his right is Dr Rajendra Prasad, an environmental scientist, and in the top row (from right to left) are some purohit, Sundarlal Bahuguna and a senior Hindu sadhu. Not many local people have joined the proceedings yet.
Amongst the others who were there were: Paritosh Tyagi, ex-Chairman, CPCB, Rajendra Singh, Dr Ravi Chopra, Director, PSI, M C Mehta, environmental lawyer, Govindacharya, BJP member. About a 100-125 people from outside Uttarkashi have come. Amongst those who are there at the gathering, not everyone is supporting GD's cause because they believe the Ganga is sacred.
Please inform others that the fast has started and take whatever action you feel you ought to take regarding this issue.
Warmly,
Sagar

Humanist Movement and the Humanist Party supports your issue completely.
It is important to realise that we are living in times when democracy has become just a new label of criminals-mafia-controlled governments.
Thse governments have no meaning for lives, no interest in the good of the nation. Their only interest is to make money for a very few of them.
In these times, it is important that good-willing common citizens come forward, shun their negative feeling about "joining politics", form the true democratic government and take charge of the nation - and then to rebuild the nation and the world of their dreams.
Humanist Party has been formed to provdie such a platform for all good people and I invite you all to take this platform and we all work to rebuild India of our dreams.
