Sonia Gandhi to shift to Jaipur to avoid Delhi's air pollution

New Delhi/IBNS: Two months after being discharged from a hospital, former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has been asked  by the doctors to shift to Jaipur temporarily till the air quality improves in Delhi.

Gandhi suffers from respiratory problems and doctors have advised her to temporarily move to a place where the air quality is better.

The Air Quality Index for Delhi on Tuesday was 375, which is still in the 'severe' category, while the figure for Jaipur was 72, which is in the 'moderate' category, according to private air quality monitoring website aqi.in.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is addressing rallies in various states where the assembly elections will be held later this year, will visit his mother in Jaipur on Tuesday night before heading to Chhattisgarh on Wednesday.

He will go back to Jaipur and continue with his scheduled rallies in the state on Thursday.

Sonia Gandhi had been admitted to Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in September after showing symptoms of fever and had been discharged a day later.

She had also been admitted to a hospital in January owing to her respiratory issues.

This is not the first time that the former Congress president has had to move to another city to avoid the pollution in Delhi. In the winter of 2020,  she shifted to Goa on the advice of her doctors.
