New Delhi [India], June 25 : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Saurabh Bharadwaj on Tuesday informed that Delhi Minister Atishi's blood sugar level has fallen to 36 due to which the latter has been admitted to hospital.
"Atishi's blood sugar level fell to 36, so she has been admitted to LNJP Hospital," Bharadwaj posted on X.
Speaking to ANI, Bharadwaj said that doctors are checking her vitals and then doctors would give some suggestions.
"Her blood sugar levels had been dropping since the last night. When we submitted her blood sample, her sugar levels came out to be 46. When we checked her sugar levels from a portable machine, her sugar levels came out to be 36... Doctors are checking her vitals and only after that will they give suggestions," Bharadwaj said.
Delhi Minister Atishi was admitted to the hospital after her health condition deteriorated as she was on an indefinite hunger strike against the Haryana government for not releasing 100 million gallons per day (MGD) of water, thus creating a water crisis in the national capital.
Atishi was admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital in the national capital in the early hours of Tuesday.
Atishi's indefinite hunger strike entered its fifth day on Tuesday. She said that Haryana is not releasing Delhi's share of water.
According to the AAP press release, a health checkup done on the minister revealed that her blood pressure and sugar levels dropped drastically.
The speed with which Atishi's blood sugar level and blood pressure have dropped has been described by doctors as dangerous, said AAP.
Water Minister Atishi, who was on an indefinite hunger strike to ensure the water rights of 28 lakh Delhiites, has said that her indefinite hunger strike will continue till the Haryana government provides the water rights of Delhiites and till the gates of Hathnikund Barrage are not opened, said AAP.
The AAP has alleged that the neighbouring state of Haryana is supplying 100 million gallons per day (MGD) less water every day, which has severely affected the lives of 28 lakh people in Delhi, adding to the problem of water shortage.
The issue of water shortage arose with the high temperatures and heat waves in the national capital.
The people of Delhi have been counting on water tankers to avail their daily requirements of water.
Amid soaring temperatures, these scenes have become a daily occurrence in many areas of the national capital since the start of the summer season this year.
