A hunger strike has entered its 18th day. The activist's health is deteriorating due to severe physical exhaustion. Thousands of community members waited to hear him speak, including women, after arriving late at night.

The activist addressed a massive gathering, warning that his health might force him to cancel his plans. Further details about the situation are available from the source.

A decision to halt the journey and resume a sit-in strike is being considered if supporters continue to follow him.
