Jeypore: Padma Shri awardee Kamala Pujari, who has been suffering from old-age ailments, was admitted to Saheed Laxman Naik Hospital in Koraput district on Tuesday after her condition deteriorated.
According to sources, the tribal icon has been suffering from hypertension for quite some time and was under medication. She was not able to eat for the past few days and this deteriorated her health condition.
Her health, however, is stable now. A special medical team has been formed to take care of her treatment, the sources added.
