“Dear people of the state, I got my health checkup conducted at IGMC today after difficulty in breathing. Doctors have conducted some tests and I have been admitted to the hospital for a few days,” Chaudhary wrote on her Facebook page.
IGMC senior medical superintendent Dr Janak Raj said that the minister’s condition was stable and she will remain under observation for a few days.
