HINDUSTAN TIMES (July 22, 2022)

Singer-music composer Zubeen Garg was airlifted to Guwahati, Assam, on Wednesday evening, hours after he was admitted to a private hospital in Dibrugarh town after he sustained a minor head injury.

Multiple reports state that the doctors conducted a CT scan and Garg has received several stitches on his head. He is said to be safe right now, with his vital parameters being stable.

Earlier, on learning of Garg’s hospitalization, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had directed the deputy commissioner of Dibrugarh district to ensure that Garg, who was undergoing treatment at Sanjeevani Hospital in Dibrugarh, receives quality medical attention. Sarma had even directed to arrange for the artiste to be taken to Guwahati or outside the state for further treatment by air ambulance, if necessary.

The chief minister had also directed state health minister Keshab Mahanta to oversee the entire process of providing necessary medical services to the musician.

Garg reportedly fell down in the washroom of the resort he was staying in at Dibrugarh and was immediately rushed to the hospital for treatment.

The musician has composed songs for Assamese, Bengali as well as Hindi films. He made his singing debut in 1992 with Anamika. His discography includes songs such as Ya Ali from the 2006 Hindi film, Gangster, and Dil Tu Hi Bataa from Hrithik Roshan-starrer Krrish 3 (2013), among others.
