Ranchi: Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) chief Shibu Soren left for New Delhi for better treatment in Medanta Hospital, Gurugram on Tuesday. Around 4 pm, Soren left the Ranchi hospital in an ambulance to board the Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express at Bokaro Steel City railway station.
Soren (76) and his wife Rupi Soren were tested positive for coronavirus infection on 21 August. Later on, 24 August Soren admitted at Medanta Hospital Ranchi with complaint of shortness of breath.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren accompanied his father to the railway station in Bokaro to see him off.
‘There is nothing to worry about,’ said Hemant Soren at Bokaro Steel City Railway station.
“Since my father has an old medical history, therefore, as a precautionary measure, we are shifting him to Medanta Hospital at Gurugram. He will also undergo regular medical tests which are due for more than a year,” he added.
A team of doctors accompanied Shibu Soren on the way to Delhi, where Soren was accommodated with an extra compartment attached.
Owing to the decrease in oxygen level in the Soren’s body, the air ambulance was not chosen, said a medical expert.
