HARIDWAR:
The district administration team led by sub-divisional magistrate Ajay Veer Singh and circle officer, city Juhi Manral arrived at the ashram premises on Tuesday night, apprising the seer about the district magistrate Kamendra Singh's directives to stop dredging at three sites in the Ganga riverbed.
"Brahmachari Dayanand was apprised of the administrative order regarding the closing of dredging work, after which the seer broke his fast," said Singh.
Brahamachari Dayanand in a statement said that as the local administration has suspended the quarrying which was being allowed in the name of dredging, he has given up his agitation.
Brahamachari Dayanand has been on fast since December 7 at Matri Sadan ashram, situated in Jagjeetpur, objecting to quarrying being done under the dredging policy in Ganga River. He had shunned food, taking only water, lemon and a pinch of salt.
Matri Sadan Ashram was established in 1997 at Jagjeetpur in Kankhal adjacent Ganga, by Swami Shivanand Saraswati. Since then, Matri Sadan ashram has been witnessing to a number of agitations for the sanctity of Ganga and related environmental issues.
