Hours after reports that Lata Mangeshkar’s health has deteriorated, a few political leaders paid a visit to the singer in the hospital. Lata was admitted to the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai last month after she was diagnosed with Covid-19. She reportedly had mild symptoms. She was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Last week, the doctors treating her had said that Lata had been put off the ventilator but was still in the ICU.

However, on Saturday, news broke out that Lata was put on the ventilator again after her health deteriorated. In the evening, the doctor treating Lata at the hospital, Dr. Pratik Samdani, informed the media that “aggressive therapy” continues and that Lata ‘is tolerating the procedures well’.

Amid Lata’s latest health updates, a few ministers were seen visiting the hospital where Lata is admitted. On Saturday evening, Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Piyush Goyal, visited Breach Candy and conveyed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s message to her family. “The prayers of the whole nation are with Lata Didi. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sent wishes for her fast recovery. We all want her to be fine soon, and are praying for her long life,” he told the media gathered outside the hospital.
