CHENNAI: Apollo Hospitals said this evening that a team of its doctors and those from AIIMS was continuously monitoring the health of Chief Minister Jayalalithaa and denied as "totally baseless and false" reports that she was no more.
"Some TV channels are wrongly reporting that the Honourable CM is no more. It is totally baseless and false.
"They are advised to rectify this mistake based on this press release," the hospital said in a statement after news channels reported that the AIADMK leader was no more.
AIADMK raised flag at full mast at party HQ after Apollo Hospitals' denial of reports on Jayalalithaa's health condition.
The hospital statement said Jayalalithaa continued to be on life support.
"The Apollo specialists and specialists from AIIMS are continually monitoring the CM very closely," it said.
