Anna Hazare: Health Concerns: Eighth Day of Fast

Concerns over Anna Hazare's health grew on Tuesday as the Gandhian entered the eighth day of his fast even as doctors said he was fine but advised the Gandhian not to venture out in the sun.

Hazare has lost 5.6 kg since he began his fast on August 16. He is weaker but there was no problem right now, his close associate Manish Sisodia told mediapersons.

"There is no need for hospitalisation. He has lost 600 grams in the past 24 hours. His weight is 66.4 kg, a drop from 72 kg. His blood pressure is 124/82. His pulse rate is 84 per minute. Anna told me that he is feeling fine," Sisodia said on Tuesday morning.

Traces of ketone were also found in his blood. In the wee hours of the day, Sisodia said doctors have advised Hazare not to venture out in the sun as it could have a negative impact on his health.
