Medha Patkar to await clarifications

By Our Special Correspondent

MUMBAI, SEPT. 26. Ms. Medha Patkar, leader of the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), today refused to call off her 10-day old indefinite fast though the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Mr. Vilasrao Deshmukh, announced that the State had accepted in principle her demands, including the status of 73 forest- villages.

Ms. Patkar, who had not received any detailed communication from the Government about its decision, told reporters in the evening that she would seek clarifications tomorrow before taking any step.
