Atishi Hunger Strike: Minister's Medical Bulletin Says She 'Refused Admission To Hospital And Oral-Intake'

AAP leader Atishi has been on an indefinite hunger strike for the last four days over the water crisis in the national capital.

Delhi Water Crisis: The medical bulletin of Delhi Water Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi, who is on an indefinite hunger strike since the last four days demanding Delhi's share of water, surfaced on Monday.

According to the bulletin, "A medical team from Lok Nayak Hospital came for medical examination of Atishi at Bhogal. The patient has been counselled for admission and oral-intake, but the patient denied getting admitted.” 

Earlier in the day, Atishi said that she would continue her despite adverse health effects until Haryana released the "rightful share of Delhi's water". The AAP leader's indefinite hunger strike entered fourth day on Monday.

"My blood pressure and sugar levels are dropping and my weight has gone down. Ketone level is very high which can have harmful effects in the long run. No matter how much my body suffers, I will continue the fast till Haryana releases water," she said. In a video message, the Delhi minister said she was medically examined by doctors on Sunday.

Atishi claimed that Haryana has reduced Delhi's share in Yamuna water by 100 million gallons per day (MGD) for the last three weeks. The 100 MGD less water has caused a shortage, affecting 28 lakh people in Delhi, she said. Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena after a meeting with the AAP delegation on Sunday said Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has assured to look into whether his state can provide extra water to the city.

The national capital has been reeling under a severe water crisis, with parts of the city heavily relying on water tankers to secure water for their day-to-day needs.
