BEED: Fasting Maratha quota activist Manoj Jarange, who is on his way to Mumbai, is dehydrated and could develop an electrolyte imbalance, a government doctor said on Wednesday, stressing the need for his hospitalisation.
Earlier in the day, Jarange himself raised concerns over his condition, saying his tour to Mumbai might be cancelled as his hunger strike, which entered its 19th day on Wednesday, and long hours of travel had taken a toll on his health.
