VARANASI: The district administration shifted scientist-turned-seer Swami Gyan Swarup Sanand to the ICU of SSL Hospital of Banaras Hindu University (BHU)
from the emergency ward of SPG Divisional Hospital despite his protest
on Sunday afternoon. On Sunday, Swami Sanand’s fastunto-death stir
entered in its 10th day. He had already stopped taking food a month
back, and also gave up consuming water 10 days back. As a precaution,
the district administration had admitted him to the SPG Hospital where he was given intravenous drugs to save his life.
During his stay at SPG Hospital, Union
minister Sriprakash Jaiswal had met him as prime minister’s messenger
while Union environment minister Jayanti Natrajan had also sent him a
letter through district administration. But the seer remained rigid on
his stand that until the central government does something meaningful to
ensure ‘aviral’ (undisrupted) and ‘nirmal’ (clean) flow of Ganga, he
would continue his ‘tapasya’. As he failed to get any desired reply from
the Central government, he stopped taking intravenous drugs from
Saturday evening. Read details…..

Swami Sanand removes saline drip

VARANASI:
After failing to get a positive response from the Central government,
Swami Gyan Swarup Sanand (noted environmentalist Prof GD Agrawal), who
has been on ‘nirjal’ fast unto death stir for Ganga for the past nine
days, removed saline drip on Saturday. He made it clear that his
‘tapasya’ (austerity) for the Ganga would continue till any clear cut
decision was not taken by the government.
After going without food for a month at Haridwar, Swami Sanand left
water here on March 9 to press the Central government for doing
something meaningful to ensure undisrupted (Aviral) and clean (nirmal)
flow of the Ganga. As a precautionary measure, the district
administration admitted him to the Shiv Prasad Gupta Hospital.
Union minister Sriprakash Jaiswal met Swami as a messenger of the Prime
Minister, who is the chairman of the National Ganga River Basin
Authority (NGRBA). But, the meeting failed to reach any decision and
deadlock continued. Swami had also warned that he would remove the
saline drip on March 17 if government did not respond positively by 5pm.

Environmentalist Prof. GD Agrawal now
Swami Gyan Swarup Sanand , who left taking even water from Friday the
9th March 2012, is determined to sacrifice his life for the River Ganga (गंगा) .
He refused the requests and arguments of local administrative officials
regarding a rethink on his decision. “It is not the question of my
life, but it is a matter of pain and suffering of Mother Ganga,” he
said, putting aside the request for stopping the fast.
Swami Sanand, who had stopped taking food
and was just living on water for a month (from February 8 to March 8),
left even water on Friday. He lost some weight on Saturday. According to
the records of his medical check up, he lost around 1/2kg body weight
in the past 24 hours. A medical team led by additional chief medical
officer RP Tiwari examined his health on Saturday afternoon. His blood
pressure was 142/72 while his pulse rate was 82 and weight was 49.5kg.
Local administrative and police officials, including the additional
district magistrate Ram Yagya Mishra and SP MS Chauhan, met him and
requested him to stop his fast unto death.
“In case of his (Swami Sanand) death, another devotee will take over and
the sequence will continue till the goal is achieved,” said Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, the coordinator of Ganga Sewa Abhiyanam
and disciple of Shankaracharya of Jyotish and Dwarka Sharda Peeth Swami
Swarupanand Saraswati. He forwarded a letter to the Prime Minister through local administration on Saturday, requesting immediate intervention.
According to him, an open letter to the PM was already sent on January 3, 2012 drawing his attention to main concerns. Due respect, importance and
status of a national symbol was not being accorded to the Ganga in spite of her being designated as the National River. The major concerns include unsatisfactory and ineffective functioning of the National Ganga River Basin Authority, continuing construction work on dams/barrages/tunnels which would totally destroy the natural flow regimes and quality of the river water, nod to a new 300MW hydel project, total failure of regulatory agencies in controlling discharge of urban and industrial wastes into the Ganga and complete lack of sensitivity of the government on these issue.
