Ramdev shifted to hospital after his health worsens
Haridwar: Amid high drama, Yoga guru Ramdev, whose indefinite fast entered seventh day, was shifted to a hospital in Dehra Dun as doctors attending on him opined that his health parametres were "worrisome". A Patanjali Yogapeeth spokesman claimed that the decision to shift Ramdev to a hospital was taken by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, who gave directions to Haridwar District Magistrate in this regard. The 46-year-old yoga guru is being "taken to Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences in Dehra Dun", G S Martolia, SSP, Dehra Dun, told PTI. There was commotion at the ashram as some of Ramdev's supporters protested the district administration's move to shift him to hospital. Some protestors even clashed with police when the yoga guru, who is on a fast against corruption and black money, was being taken on a stretcher. However, it was resolved immediately with the help of ashram authorities.
