Biman Bose undergoes pacemaker procedure at AIIMS Delhi
Biman Bose, 86, the chairman of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), recently underwent a pacemaker procedure at AIIMS in Delhi, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) announced on Saturday. The veteran Left leader had been admitted to the government-run hospital two days prior due to a heart-related ailment.
Mohammad Selim, the Bengal secretary of CPI(M), informed the party leadership that Bose was gradually recovering. The doctors have also advised Bose to continue his stay at the hospital for a few more days.
It was previously advised to Bose six years ago to implant a pacemaker, but he was unwilling to undergo the procedure. However, this time, the doctors did not take the risk and proceeded with the surgery. Additionally, Bose underwent an elective percutaneous heart valve implantation at AIIMS on Saturday.
Biman Bose is well-known in Left circles as the "headmaster of walking." Despite his heart condition, he used to effortlessly walk for miles during rallies. However, in the last couple of years, he has been finding it increasingly difficult to do so.
