37 young professionals and students are on indefinite fast at IAC, Chennai for the fourth day in support of Jan Lokpal and Anna Hazare. This includes ten college students who are in the age group of 18 and 19. Yesterday (18th Aug 2011), I visited the venue where India Against Corruption volunteers were fasting at Chennai. Besides, more than 50 persons were fasting on a relay fast.

There were hundreds of volunteers, who were shouldering various responsibilities like lie stream, taking care of people who were on fast, attending to media and VIPs, creating public awareness, etc. meticulously. When I visited the venue on the third day morning, more than 5000 volunteers had already registered.
I spoke to few of the youngsters who were fasting from 16th August 2011 onwards, when Anna Hazare was arrested. Even though, they were visibly looking tired because of three days continuous fast, they spoke to me energetically that they would not stop the fast, until the Government accepts the Jan Lokpal bill.
I made a podcast feature on the third day event by IAC Chennai. I also took the interviews from these brave, patriotic, UnSung heroes. Please watch this video. (6 minuts)
