President Ram Nath Kovind is expected to undergo a planned bypass procedure on Tuesday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi.
Last week following a chest discomfort President Kovind was shifted to AIIMS.
However, his health condition is stable now and he is under care of experts, said a statement from Rashtrapati Bhavan. Kovind, 75, had undergone a health check-up at the Army (R&R) Hospital on Friday morning.
“The President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind has been shifted to the AIIMS, Delhi, in the afternoon today (March 27, 2021). Post investigations, doctors have advised him to undergo a planned bypass procedure which is expected to be performed on the morning of March 30, Tuesday.”
“The President’s health is stable and he is under the care of the experts at the AIIMS,” the statement said.
However, the President will continue to perform his work duties day after hospitalisation as he gave his assent to a bill that accords primacy to Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor (L-G) over the elected government.
The central government announced about the presidential assent to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (Amendment) Bill, 2021 through a gazette notification.
According to the legislation, the “government” in Delhi means the “Lieutenant Governor” and the city government will now have to seek the opinion of the L-G before taking any executive action.
Parliament passed the bill last week – Lok Sabha on March 22 and Rajya Sabha on March 24.
