- Sonia Gandhi unwell as respiratory issues worsen in Delhi
- Sonia Gandhi unwell amid rising air pollution and cold weather
Congress president Sonia Gandhi has fallen ill and has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Delhi. Hospital sources confirmed that her health is stable. Doctors said she is suffering from respiratory problems. The development comes at a time when air pollution levels in the national capital have risen sharply.
According to hospital staff, Sonia Gandhi was admitted on Monday evening. Officials said the admission was part of a routine medical checkup. They also stated that she regularly visits the hospital during periods of high air pollution in Delhi. Meanwhile, sources said her condition remains under control and doctors are closely monitoring her health.
Air pollution in Delhi has increased significantly in recent weeks. As a result, people with respiratory conditions are facing serious difficulties. Sonia Gandhi has been suffering from lung-related problems for a long time. Therefore, whenever pollution levels rise, she faces health issues. This time too, doctors linked her illness to the combination of increasing cold weather and high pollution levels.
Sonia Gandhi is currently 79 years old. Party sources said that along with age, she has been dealing with several health concerns. However, they maintained that there is no cause for alarm at present. Hospital officials also stressed that her admission was precautionary and part of regular medical care during vulnerable periods.
This is not the first time Sonia Gandhi has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital. In February last year, she was hospitalised due to a stomach-related problem. Later, she was admitted again in June for medical treatment. National media reports said she has continued to face minor health issues even after those hospital visits.
Meanwhile, the worsening air quality in Delhi has raised broader public health concerns. Doctors have repeatedly warned that people with lung problems are at higher risk during such conditions. Therefore, Sonia Gandhi’s hospitalisation has once again drawn attention to the impact of pollution on vulnerable groups.
Party leaders and supporters are closely watching developments related to her health. However, officials reiterated that her condition is stable and under medical supervision. Further updates are expected from the hospital based on her progress in the coming days.
