Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, who was admitted to Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMCH) in Shimla after he complained of abdomen pain, was flown to the AIIMS, New Delhi on Friday morning for a check-up, reported PTI, citing officials.
The CM is stable and all his reports are normal, officials at the IGMCH in Shimla said.
“Various tests have been conducted since Wednesday night and a stomach infection was detected,” they said.
The CM has been flown to AIIMS, New Delhi to get a second opinion by the doctors there, Medical Superintendent of IGMCH, Dr Rahul Rao told PTI.
Head of the Department of Gastroenterology Dr Brij Sharma, who was leading the six-member team of senior doctors monitoring the CM here, has accompanied Sukhu to the AIIMS, he said.
On Wednesday, CM Sukhu was hospitalised after he complained of pain in his abdomen.
Principal Media Advisor to the CM, Naresh Chauhan said Sukhu was travelling extensively over the last few days and must have eaten something outside that caused the infection. Doctors at the IGMC had earlier advised rest to the chief minister and kept him under observation in the hospital.
