Postmen had never ventured here, but for the past one week they have been taking rounds of Ramlila Maidan with their mailbags delivering letters to fasting Anna Hazare. And the addresses on these letters reads Anna Hazare, Fasting Centre, Ramlila Maidan.

And the addresses on these letters reads Anna Hazare, Fasting Centre, Ramlila Maidan or just Anna Hazare, Ramlila Ground.

Team Anna members said Hazare has got around 50 letters and packets through courier and speedpost. Most of the letters were in support of Hazare and his fast while some others were to request him to call off his hunger strike as they were concerned about his health.

Letters were coming from as far as Orissa and Tripura.

Hazare, who began his fast on August 16 in police detention, reached Ramlila Maidan three days later after spending three nights in Tihar Jail.
