Odisha’s Revenue and Disaster Management Minister, Suresh Pujari, has been shifted to AIIMS Delhi for specialized treatment following a cardiac emergency. The move comes after a specialized medical team at AIIMS Bhubaneswar conducted a thorough evaluation, including an angiography, to assess his condition.
While initially stabilized in Bhubaneswar, experts recommended the transfer to the national capital to ensure access to advanced cardiac facilities and expert consultation.
The news of the Minister’s health setback has sparked widespread concern across the state’s political landscape.
Leaders across party lines and well-wishers have flooded social media with messages wishing him a speedy recovery.
The state administration is reportedly in constant touch with the medical team in Delhi to monitor his progress. As one of the key figures in the state cabinet, Pujari’s health remains a top priority for the government.
