Dehradun, 10 Jun: Former Chief Minister and veteran Congress leader Harish Rawat was admitted to Doon Medical College Hospital in Dehradun today after he complained of sudden fatigue and a rise in blood pressure. The doctors at the Doon Hospital conducted a thorough health examination and kept him under observation for a short period but discharged him later with advice to take rest at home for a few days. The hospital authorities confirmed that the test reports of Harish Rawat are being examined in detail. Medical Superintendent Dr RS Bisht stated that Rawat had arrived at the hospital in the morning with complaints of tiredness and elevated blood pressure, following which specialists admitted him briefly and carried out necessary investigations before allowing him to return home with medical guidance for rest.
News of Rawat’s health condition quickly reached his supporters and party workers, many of whom gathered at the hospital to enquire about his wellbeing. Rawat later released a video message from the hospital through social media, in which he expressed satisfaction over the successful public meetings held by the Congress in Almora and Pauri. He felt that, if a similar programme were to be organised in Dehradun, it would be equally remarkable. He praised the enthusiasm shown by party workers in both districts and urged them to remain united and continue their struggle with determination so that the election campaign could be carried forward successfully.
