New Delhi: Noted folk singer Sharda Sinha has been admitted to Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) following a health complication, the hospital said on Tuesday.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is continuously monitoring her condition and has prayed for her speedy recovery, it said.
Sinha, 72, is an Indian folk and classical singer, hailing from Bihar. The Padma Bhushan awardee is known for her folk songs in Bhojpuri and Maithili.
"Noted folk singer, Smt. Sharda Sinha is admitted in AIIMS, New Delhi for treatment," AIIMS-Delhi said in a post on X.
