Who broke his 194 days fast to protect against sand mining and upcoming dams on key rivers that feed the Ganga?

Question

In which city, situated at the confluence of sacred rivers Ganga and Gandak, is the biggest cattle fair of Asia held on Kartik Purnima ?

Answer 1

Swami Atmabodhanand
Swami Atmabodhanand, has broken his 194-day fast in protest against sand mining and the upcoming dams on key rivers that feed the Ganga. Atmabodhanand had begun fasting days after G.D. Agrawal, 86, a former professor and hermit, died of a heart attack on October 11 after a 111-day fast.

The young ascetic, based at Matri Sadan in Haridwar, said he had decided to break his fast after “assurances” from Rajiv Ranjan Mishra, Director-General, National Mission for Clean Ganga, that laws banning sand mining on certain stretches of the Ganga would henceforth be enforced.
