AYODHYA: The president of Sriram Janambhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, was swiftly shifted to Medanta Hospital in Lucknow from his mutt, Maniram Chawni, in Ayodhya after his oxygen level dipped dramatically on Sunday. His close disciple, Kamal Nayan Das, told TOI that Mahant's was breathless, when doctors from Faizabad district hospital referred him to Medanta, Lucknow, where his condition stabilised.
“Mahant’s health began to deteriorate since morning amid steep fluctuations in his oxygen level. He also complained of cough and excessive urination. The doctors decided to move him immediately to critical care,” said Kamal Nayan Das.
‘Seer is stable, put on oxygen support: Doc
Director, Medanta hospital, Lucknow, Prof Rakesh Kapoor, said, “The seer was put on oxygen support and doctors from department of urology and critical care management are treating him. He was having trouble in urination and breathing, which points to an infection in vital organs. We will conduct more tests. He is currently stable.”
The 83-year-old seer contracted Covid-19 in September last year and was treated at Medanta Hospital for several months following blood clots in his lungs. He returned to his mutt, Maniram Chawni, and adhered to strict pandemic protocols. He remained confined to his mutt, did not attend public programmes or meet his disciples.
