Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has been admitted to Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi following respiratory discomfort, sources confirmed on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
Hospital authorities have clarified that her condition is stable and she is undergoing routine observation. Gandhi, who has a history of chronic cough, reportedly experiences aggravated symptoms due to Delhi’s rising pollution levels.
According to a hospital source, Ms. Gandhi was admitted on Monday evening (January 5) after experiencing respiratory discomfort. A medical examination revealed that her bronchial asthma had been mildly exacerbated, likely triggered by the combination of cold weather and environmental pollution.
“As a precaution, she has been admitted for further monitoring and treatment. The decision regarding her discharge will be taken by the treating physicians based on her clinical progress, likely within a day or two,” the source said.
The hospital emphasized that this is a routine admission, and no serious complications have been reported. Gandhi is expected to continue her observation under medical supervision until her condition is fully stabilized.
