Retired IAS officer goes on day-long fast to support cause
8 April 2011
Central Administrative Tribunal member, Leena Mehendale also joined Anna Hazare in his protest on Thursday by observing a day’s fast.
Mehendale is a retired IAS officer of the 1974 batch.
“I felt that Anna is fighting for a real great cause, but I had to work and so decided to observe a day’s fast. I did not have a morsel of food since Thursday morning and will have food only on Friday morning. I am surviving only on water just as Anna is,” she told Mumbai Mirror.
The IAS officer had served in the state government as additional chief secretary. As the divisional commissioner of Nashik, Mehendale had drafted a report on the oil mafia.
She said, “If the Lokpal bill comes up in the form Anna wants, corruption will come down drastically. If we do not take enough steps today, our next generations will suffer.” - Yogesh Naik
