Mamata stable, doctors to conduct more tests
Kolkata, Mar 11, 2021 (BSS/PTI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who
is undergoing treatment at a state-run hospital here following the alleged
attack on her in Nandigram is “stable” now, and doctors are planning to
conduct a series of medical tests, including a CT scan, to assess the degree
of her injury, sources at the facility said on Thursday.
Preliminary medical tests conducted on Banerjee late Wednesday night
detected severe bone injuries in her left ankle and foot, and injuries in her
right shoulder, forearm and neck, they said.
“A temporary plaster was done on her left ankle and she will undergo
several blood tests this morning. Her ECG report was fine.
“Banerjee is stable now. She will be under observation for the next 48
hours. A CT scan may be conducted during the day. We will again examine her
and decide on our next course of treatment. Her fever subsided,” a doctor of
the SSKM Hospital told PTI.
The state government constituted a nine-member team to treat Banerjee, and
doctors conducted an x-ray on the chief minister as soon as she was taken to
the hospital from Nandigram on Wednesday evening.
Banerjee sustained injuries on her left leg and waist as she fell on the
ground after she was allegedly pushed by unknown miscreants while campaigning
for assembly elections in Nandigram.
She is undergoing treatment at the 12.5 special cabin of Woodburn Block of
the SSKM Hospital.
The TMC supremo had on Wednesday filed her nomination to contest the
ensuing assembly elections from Nandigram seat.
