CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury critical at AIIMS with respiratory infection, on respiratory support, closely monitored by doctors.
CPI(M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury's condition is "critical" and he is on respiratory support at AIIMS, the party said on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
The 72-year-old Mr. Yechury is being treated for acute respiratory tract infection at the ICU in AIIMS, it said in a statement.
A multi-disciplinary team of doctors is closely monitoring the condition of Mr. Yechury, which is critical at this time, the party said.
Yechury was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on August 19 for the treatment of a pneumonia-like chest infection.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
