Update on Anna Hazare who has quietly slipped off the radar after his failed fast in Mumbai. Hazare called off his three-day fast beginning December 27 on the second day, after doctors warned him of kidney failure if he persisted with his fast.

The Gandhian then went back to his village Ralegan Siddhi from where he was hospitalised in Pune.

Health bulletin: Hazare, who is suffering from bronchitis, is stable and improving, doctors attending on him said today. "Hazare's chest X-ray and blood tests are normal," Dr Parag Sancheti said. 74-year-old Hazare was shifted from Ralegan Siddhi to the Sancheti Hospital on December 31.

He had been suffering from viral infection, since he undertook a fast on December 27, which was subsequently withdrawn the next day. "Hazare spent a restful night and if the improvement continues on the expected lines, he can be discharged on Sunday," Sancheti said. 

Visitors are not allowed to meet hospital authorities to ensure complete rest for the Gandhian.
