Delhi Minister Atishi was discharged from LNJP Hospital on Thursday morning after being admitted due to low blood sugar during a hunger strike. The strike aimed at pressuring Haryana to release Delhi's due share of water.

According to LNJP Hospital director Suresh Kumar, Atishi was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and initially treated in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Following an improvement in her condition, she was moved to a normal ward and was discharged on Thursday morning.

'Her ketone test came back negative, and she is currently stable,' said Dr. Kumar. 'Although she is experiencing mild weakness, a full recovery is expected within a few days.' Prominent political figures, including Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav and CPI(M) leader Brinda Karat, visited her in the hospital on Wednesday.
