Mumbai, May 28 (PTI) Social activist Medha Patkar, who was protesting the eviction of slum-dwellers from Golibar in suburban Khar here, ended her fast on the ninth day today after the Maharashtra government agreed to her demands.
"Medha has ended her fast after Collector Nirmal Deshmukh came up with a notification this afternoon. They have agreed to her demands," Madhuresh Kumar, a member of National Alliance of Peoples' Movement (NAPM) and Patkar's associate said.
She was on a fast from May 20 in Golibar slum area of Mumbai, where a 140-acre land has been handed to a private builder. The activist claimed that signatures of slum dwellers were forged on letters of consent given for a proposed slum-rehabilitation project.
