Sharmila admitted to Apollo for surgery

YSR Congress Party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's sister Sharmila who was suffering from a ligament injury sustained on Friday last during her ‘Maro Praja Prastanam’ padayatra  was admitted to Apollo Hospital in Jubilee Hills on Monday.

MLA Sobha Nagi Reddy who visited Sharmila in the hospital said doctors have decided to perform surgery on Tuesday morning but Sharmila wanted it to be postponed to the afternoon to enable her to visit her brother Jagan who is presently lodged in Chanchalaguda jail.

When reporters asked about Sharmila's padaytra, the MLA said "She will resume her padaytra after the rest."

Dr. Somasekhara Reddy, who has been monitoring the treatment of the ligament injury and conducting medical tests on her, made it clear she should take rest for at least three weeks after the operation.
Sharmila has so far completed walking a distance of 822 km in 57 days, prior to suspending her Padayatra from Saturday, following the ligament injury she sustained.
