Kejriwal to undergo throat surgery in city on September 13

Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, will undergo surgery at Narayana Health City in Bengaluru on September 13. The surgery would be performed to bring relief to his chronic cough.

 Kejriwal is scheduled to land in the city on September 12. According to sources close to him, Kejriwal will undergo a surgical procedure to correct a defect in his windpipe. “So far, he was told that it could be due to allergies or infection that he has recurrent cough. However, now, doctors are of a considered opinion that it is due to a defect in the wind pipe as there is an obstruction. Hence, he would be operated upon,” the source added.

Narayana Health team
Sources in the Aam Admi Party said that a team of experts from Narayana Health themselves approached Kejriwal in New Delhi telling him of a possible cure for cough and he consented. “After the surgery, he will be able to breathe better and would be relieved of his chronic cough. Doctors also said that they have conducted similar procedures earlier which relieved many of cough.”

Naturopathy treatment
Arvind Kejriwal went to the Mazumdar-Shaw Cancer Centre at Narayana Health City on August 29. The Delhi chief minister also visited the city’s Jindal Naturecure Institute for Naturopathy Treatment last year. He is also a diabetic.
