He also appealed the protesters to withdraw their indefinite hunger strike assuring them that their demands will get fulfilled at the earliest.

However, speaking to Coastaldigest.com, Lokesh, protest coordinator said there will be no compromise with regard to our demands and the protest would not be withdrawn at any cost.
