West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose was admitted to Eastern Command Hospital on Monday morning. Raj Bhavan, in a statement, said that Bose had a “mild shoulder pain”.

He had returned to Kolkata from a tour of violence-hit Murshidabad and Malda districts on Saturday evening.

“After his hectic field visits, the Governor had a mild shoulder pain. He visited the Command Hospital for a routine check-up. The pain has subsided, but the doctors advised him rest and wanted to keep him on a routine observation for a day,” the Raj Bhavan stated.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visited the Governor at the hospital before leaving for Salboni in Paschim Medinipur. “I visited the Governor at the Command Hospital since he is unwell. I have directed the chief secretary to take necessary steps in this regard,” the CM told mediapersons before boarding her helicopter at Dumurjola helipad in Howrah.

Initially, it was reported that Bose, 74, was admitted to the Eastern Command Hospital around 10 am after he complained of “chest pain”.
