DEHRADUN: Chapped lips, sore throat and dimming light due to lack of water since March 7 are making 27-year-old Brahmachari Atmbodhananda from Matri Sadan of Haridwar look like a frail figure.
His body may have started to give signals to give up but his will to save Maa Ganga remains indomitable. I am ready to give up my life for Maa Ganga. We, saints, cannot sit back and watch while illegal mining, dam construction and pollution destroyed Maam Ganga and other divine rivers of Devbhoomi Uttrakhand, says Atmbodhananda.
A computer science graduate from Kerala, he had undertaken 194 days of agitation in phases earlier to save the holy river. He started his fast on February 23 and stopped consuming water on March 7.
