Mohali/Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who has been undergoing treatment at Fortis Hospital in Mohali for the past few days, is responding well to medical care. Doctors have assured that his condition is stable and he could be discharged within the next couple of days if improvement continues.
According to sources, the CM was admitted after his health deteriorated during visits to flood-hit areas of the state. He had been actively touring villages affected by the disaster when his condition worsened, forcing him to return to Chandigarh before being shifted to hospital.
Leaders Visit Hospital, Express Relief
Senior Aam Aadmi Party leaders, including Manish Sisodia, met Mann and later told reporters that he is in good spirits and gradually recovering. “Doctors are hopeful he will be back home very soon,” Sisodia said, adding that the Chief Minister has been advised to rest for a few more days.
Political Sparks Over Mann’s Illness
Meanwhile, remarks from opposition leader and former CM Charanjit Singh Channi have stirred controversy. Channi suggested that the cancellation of a cabinet review meeting on the flood crisis was not entirely linked to Mann’s health but rather to internal disagreements in the ruling party.
AAP leaders dismissed the claim. Senior leader Baltej Pannu criticised the opposition for trying to score political points during a humanitarian crisis. In a sharp response, he wrote on social media, “There is no need to drag the CM’s health into unnecessary controversy. If you truly care about Punjab, stand with those suffering from floods instead of spreading negativity.”
Focus Remains on Flood Relief
Even as political sparring continues, officials say relief and rehabilitation efforts are underway across Punjab. The state government has assured that flood-affected families remain its top priority, while expressing confidence that the Chief Minister will soon return to lead the efforts personally.
