Sharmila declared fit to resume Yatra

Hyderabad, Jan 26, 2013: Smt. Y.S. Sharmila, who temporarily suspended her Maro Praja Prasthanam Padayatra due to a ligament injury in her right leg last month, is medically fit and likely to resume her Padayatra in the first week of February.  

Smt. Sharmila underwent medical tests at Apollo Hospital here on Saturday. The team of doctors, who performed key-hole surgery on her on Dec 18, 2012, conducted the tests to determine her fitness to resume the Padayatra.  

Dr. Chandrasekhara Reddy and Dr. Madan Mohan Reddy, who evaluated the medical test results, declared her medically fit to resume the Padayatra. She can take her normal walk from today, they said.  

“She can walk normally but she needs physiotherapy morning and evening daily,” the doctors said. A team of doctors are also likely to accompany Smt. Y.S. Sharmila whenever she resumes her Maro Praja Prasthanam.  

Meanwhile, YSR Congress Party spokesperson Vasireddy Padma told reporters here that the party will discuss the issue and announce the exact date of resuming the Padayatra in a couple of days.
