Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was admitted to Fortis Hospital in Mohali on Friday after his health condition worsened over the past two days.
According to doctors, the chief minister had been unwell and was suffering from a stomach infection, accompanied by fever for the last two days. As his condition showed no signs of improvement, medical experts advised hospitalisation.
Mann, 51, was admitted to the hospital on Friday, where a team of doctors is monitoring his health closely. Sources said his condition is stable, but he will remain under observation until further medical advice.
Mann's office is yet to release an official statement regarding his discharge or further treatment plans.
Kejriwal meets Bhagwant Mann
Following reports of his illness, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal visited Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann at his official residence on Thursday to inquire about his health.
Kejriwal had reached Punjab on Wednesday evening to review the flood situation and was scheduled to tour the affected areas with the chief minister. However, with Mann unwell, he visited flood-hit regions in Sultanpur Lodhi, Kapurthala district, on Thursday.
This is not the first time Mann has faced health concerns. A year ago, he was diagnosed with a bacterial infection and admitted to Fortis Mohali for several days.
Earlier in the day, the Punjab cabinet meeting, which Mann was to chair, was postponed due to his illness. The meeting was expected to discuss relief and rescue operations across the state, which remains badly affected by floods.
Punjab has been grappling with widespread flooding, and the death toll rose to 43 on Thursday.
