NIMS doctors foil Jagan's fast

The indefinite hunger fast of Ysr Congress Party president Jagan Mohan Reddy came to an end on the seventh day on Saturday.

According to sources, doctors at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, where he was shifted from Osmania General Hospital last night, forcibly administered IV fluids after his health condition started deteriorating. After trying in vain to convince Jagan to end his fast, the doctors took the permission of Chanchalguda Jail authorities and forcibly gave IV fluids.

Earlier, doctors described Jagan's condition as critical and feared that he could collapse any time as he does not even have strength to stand. His body temperature, BP, Sugar and Pulse levels dropped to an alarming level.

Finally, a team of eight doctors decided to administer IV fluids and did so by taking necessary permission from the jail authorities.
