Maharashtra CM Thackeray hospitalised, for treatment of neck pain

The CM said in a statement that in the past two years of the war against the virus, he had no time to even lift his neck from work. "I had this neck pain, but ignored it a bit too much... so whatever had to happen has happened. Now the doctors have advised me to get `proper treatment` for this pain," Thackeray said.

Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was admitted to the Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday and may undergo a minor surgery for a neck problem, officials said.

Last Monday, Thackeray surprised people after he appeared in an online event wearing a neck-brace and a day later underwent a thorough medical check-up to diagnose the recurring neck and back issues.

Confirming the developments, the CM said in a statement that in the past two years of the war against the virus, he had no time to even lift his neck from work.
