Amidst the ongoing water crisis in the national capital, Delhi Water Minister Atishi has been admitted to Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital early this morning. She had been on an indefinite hunger strike, but her health condition deteriorated, causing concern for her well-being.
According to doctors, Atishi's blood sugar levels had dropped dangerously low, reaching 43 at midnight and further declining to 36 by 3 a.m. This prompted immediate hospitalization as her condition became increasingly perilous. Additionally, her blood pressure and weight had significantly decreased, and her urine ketone levels were rising, posing a severe threat to her health.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader had started her hunger strike to demand that Haryana release Delhi's share of water. On the fourth day of her fast, doctors from LNJP Hospital checked her health and observed her declining condition, leading them to recommend her admission to the hospital.
However, Atishi remains determined to continue her fast despite the recommendation to break it. "Ensuring water for the people of Delhi is more important than my life. My fast will continue until the people of Delhi receive their rightful share of water," she stated firmly.
The Aam Aadmi Party leader began her hunger strike to demand Haryana to release Delhi's "rightful" share of water. Since June 21, she has been fasting to ensure that 2.8 million Delhi residents have access to water from Haryana. The situation has become increasingly dire, and Atishi's determination to fight for the rights of Delhi's people remains unwavering.
