Anna ended his 12-day fast on Sunday morning  at Ramlila Maidan. 

He accepted a glass of tender coconut water mixed with honey from a Dalit and a Muslim girl -- Simran and Ikrah . Finally Government has conceded to the demand of Anna Hazare. Unbelievable crowd was supporting not only at Ram Lila Maidan but at all streets of India in last 12 days. We had seen very good crowd at Sambalpur City, Orissa also.
