Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury was admitted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Monday after he complained of a high fever, sources said.

According to hospital sources, Yechury was admitted in the emergency department of the hospital in the evening.

However, the exact nature of his ailment was not revealed by the hospital.

A source from the CPI(M) said he had gone for a chec-kup, and was admitted due to pneumonia.

The source added that he was undergoing treatment and he is fine.

“There is nothing serious, he has been admitted due to pneumonia,” the source said.

The CPI(M) leader had recently undergone a cataract surgery.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
