Indian Minister Drinks Water From ‘Holy’ River To Prove It’s Safe Before Rushed To Hospital
He probably should’ve listened to the people!
Indian minister, Bhagwant Mann, has been rushed to the hospital for falling ill after he downed a glass of dirty water from the “holy” river of Kali Bein. The Chief Minister of Punjab was airlifted to New Delhi a few days after drinking the water.
A clip of him scooping and drinking the water from the river has gone viral.
Mann was fine for a few days until he began complaining of discomfort in his stomach. It developed into a stomachache, and not long after, the Chief Minister had to be transferred to the Apollo Indraprastha Hospital in Sarita Vihar.
He spent a night at the hospital with medical experts explaining that he had an infection. The New Indian Express reported that he was discharged after the hospital conducted a few examinations aside from the infection by a multidisciplinary team.
His action had people demanding that officials pay attention to the crisis water hygiene management of the area.
