Agriculture Minister Kanna Lakshminarayana underwent a minor surgery in a private hospital in Hyderabad. Doctors reportedly removed from his body a plastic ring that he had swallowed unwittingly.
The incident occurred on Friday, when the minister swallowed the said plastic ring while drinking water during the inspection of a track at Chuttugunta Centre. Later in the evening, he had a difficult time breathing, and experienced some discomfort. He was immediately rushed to a private hospital, where doctors found the presence of a plastic ring in his abdomen.
The minster was discharged later after the plastic ring was removed through a minor surgery. He has been advised rest for one week. (INN)
