Lokpal: IAC books dorms in Bandra and Kurla for 300 people

The MMRDA ground, the venue for Anna Hazare’s fast, will have-among other things-VIP and media enclosures, a conference room and a medical room with facilities to keep tabs on the crusader’s health.

Activists will meet fire brigade and civic officials on Sunday to request for a fire tender on standby and deployment of workers to keep the ground garbagefree .

“We will have a volunteer meeting at the ground on Sunday. The logistics and administrative work will be finalized then. We have to seek permissions for loudspeakers from the police, a stage clearance from the PWD and so on. All this will be accomplished on Sunday and Monday, by which time the ground will be fully laid,” said Mascarenhas.

IAC members have booked dormitories in Bandra and Kurla with the capacity of handling about 300 people. Hazare is expected to reach Mumbai on Monday. The MMRDA ground was booked in the name of Public Cause Research Foundation on Friday and the payment included an application fee and a refundable security deposit.
