After the march residents have decided to court a symbolic arrest on Tuesday if the police arrest hazare. R S Rathee,president of Gurgaon Citizens Council said the people of the city will fully support Hazares fight.

What Anna is fighting for is totally justified and we fully support the cause. There is a chance that the police might arrest him and not allow him to go on with his fast. We will also court arrest if the situation arises, said Rathee.

The turn out,however,remained thinner than expected. Officials said a large number of women and children also come out for the candlelight march and this shows that everyone is aware.
