Ashok Gehlot Injures Leg, Gets Treatment In Jaipur Hospital

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was taken to hospital on Thursday after he slipped and injured his feet, a doctor said.

He fractured a left toe and also suffered an injury in a right toe, according to Dr Achal Sharma, superintendent of the Sawai Man Singh Government Hospital here.

After treatment, Ashok Gehlot returned home. The chief minister was recommended a week's rest.

आज एक बैठक के बाद आवास पर अपने कक्ष में जाते समय पैर फिसलने से दोनों पैर के अंगूठों में चोट आई है। SMS अस्पताल में प्रारम्भिक इलाज के बाद आवास पर आ गया हूं। फ्रेक्चर होने के कारण डॉक्टरों की सलाह पर कुछ दिन आवास से ही कार्य जारी रखूंगा।

आपकी शुभकामनाओं के लिए आभार।
