Anna's routine on the stage
Talking to Dainik Bhaskar about Anna's routine, volunteers from Ralegan Siddhi informed that he has been taking proper sleep so as to avoid weekness during his fast. "Anna begins his day early. However, he has been kept away from 'Yog' following his hunger strike. Unlike his routine at Ralegan, where he used to peform 'Yoga' with the school students, Anna is not practicisng 'Yogasanas'," said Suresh, a volunteer from Anna's village. He also told that it is being ensured that Anna does not take any stress as long as he is fasting.
