HARIDWAR: Activist GD Agarwal, 86, who was on an indefinite fast since June 22 demanding a clean Ganga, died at the AIIMS in Rishikesh on Thursday after suffering a cardiac arrest.

He is the second person to have died while campaigning for the river in less than a decade after Swami Nigamananda Saraswati succumbed to a 114-day fast in 2011.
