Indian activist Anna Hazare has announced he will end his hunger strike after MPs made concessions on his anti-corruption demands.
The Indian parliament backed a non-binding resolution supporting demands for a law to create an independent ombudsman with wide-ranging power to investigate civil servants, parliament and the judiciary.
Mr Hazare's aides later said he had agreed to end his fast on Sunday morning.
The 74-year-old had vowed not to stop until a tougher bill was passed, but doctors have warned that his health is deteriorating rapidly, the BBC reports.
He has so far lost 7kg in weight and has refused medical advice to be put on an intravenous drip to help him rehydrate.
In April, Mr Hazare called off a hunger strike after four days when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he could help draft legislation to create an independent body with the power to investigate politicians and civil servants suspected of corruption.
The final version of the bill was presented in early August, but the BBC reports that Mr Hazare and other activists rejected it because the prime minister and senior judges would be exempt from scrutiny.
