Medha Patkar ended her 17-day fast to protest against the government’s “apathy” towards resettlement of those affected by the increase in the height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam.

Bhopal/ Dhar:
Social activist Medha Patkar on Saturday ended her 17-day fast to protest against the government’s “apathy” towards resettlement of those affected by the increase in the height of the Sardar Sarovar Dam.

Patkar, however, would remain in detention. She was detained on Wednesday, hours after being discharged from a private hospital in Indore.

On the request of several organisations associated with the Narmada Bachao Andolan, the social activist ended her fast. “Fifteen members representing various organisations went to Dhar jail, where Patkar has been detained for the past three days,” former MLA Dr. Sunilam said, adding: “Keeping her health condition in mind, the members requested Patkar to call off the fast.”

The former legislator also said “five false charges have been registered against Patkar and the hearing over the matter would take place on August 17”.

Patkar has been told that the “entire nation” is supporting her over the Narmada dam issue. The letters written by several organisations including Rajya Sabha MP and Janata-Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav were also shared with her.

She was told that the “people urged her to end the fast”. Dr Sunilam said Patkar ended her fast by drinking lemon water in her prison cell.
