Maratha activist Manoj Jarange may have to call off Mumbai protest, cites deteriorating health
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange's health worsens during his hunger strike, prompting doctors to recommend immediate hospitalization.
Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, who has been on a hunger strike for 19 days, may have to cancel his planned protest in Mumbai due to deteriorating health, according to a government doctor. Jarange, 44, was on his way to Mumbai when doctors stated he required immediate hospitalization due to low blood pressure, high sugar levels, and acute dehydration.
His health concerns have intensified during the journey from Patoda, Maharashtra, nearly 400 km from Mumbai. Jarange's protest, demanding reservation in the OBC quota for Marathas with Kunbi caste genealogy, was denied permission by Mumbai Police citing law and order concerns during the Ganesh festival. Despite this, Jarange proceeded to Patoda and addressed a press conference, stating his health is deteriorating and he might have to stop the tour if he is not fine.
The doctor warned that his condition is critical, and hospitalization in an ICU is urgently required.
