Man ends fast after assurance from Sub Collector

Vijayawada, Sep 1 (UNI) A man on a fast along with his family in front of the Sub-Collector's Office here, today called off the fast after Sub-Collector C H Bhanu Prasad agreed to take up his petition, in which he demanded that the government bear the cost for treating his injured leg.

Mr Dasari Sudhakar Babu, who along with his family began the fast yesterday, suffered a bullet injury in his right led in a police firing on May 22, 1991, after the administration imposed a curfew following the assasination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

Mr Babu said he undertook the fast as there was no response from the government to his request for compensation for the last 15 years.
