A registration desk has also been set up by the IAC at all railway stations to reach out to supporters.

“We have received support from all vehicle associations who will lend their vehicles for the rally. The vehicles will accommodate Lokpal supporters. This protest rally is being to organised to inform the government that if the Jan Lokpal Bill is not passed in the current parliamentary session, then there will be a bigger country-wide agitation,” said Mayank Gandhi, IAC’s Mumbai coordinator. Various cyclists and vehicle groups have lent their support to the event.

“Corruption is affecting our business and therefore all bus operators want the Lokpal to be instituted. We are therefore sending yellow school buses for the rally,” said Anil Garg, president, School Bus Owners’ Association.
