Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde Hospitalised in Thane with Viral FeverPreviousNext

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was admitted to Jupiter Hospital in Thane on Friday after developing a high fever, viral infection, and fatigue amid a demanding political schedule. His condition is reported as stable under continuous medical supervision. The hospitalization led to the postponement of a political induction event in Thane, which was later held without him. Doctors have advised strict rest, and Shinde is expected to be discharged soon.
