Mamata has breathing problem: Doctor

Kolkata, August 11: Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, who suffered a chest injury while returning from her rally at Lalgarh on Monday night, has a breathing problem, a doctor attending on her said tonight.

“The condition of Mamata Banerjee is stable. But as she received an injury in the chest, she has a breathing problem,” cardiologist Subrata Moitra who examined the Trinamool Congress chief at her Kalighat residence, told PTI.

“She still has pain in the neck, ribs, chest-wall and waist and is feverish,” he said.

As Banerjee has refused to be hospitalised, she has been advised complete rest and daily blood test and x-ray, Moitra said.

The minister’s additional private secretary Ratan Mukherjee had yesterday said that she had declined to be admitted to hospital as her mother was not keeping well.
