Karwar: MP from Uttara Kannada constituency, Anant Kumar Hegde has undergone a serious surgery and has been advised prolonged rest by the doctors.
Suresh Shetty, Hegde’s personal assistant has informed that he will not be available for any public programmes or meetings in the upcoming few months. He has been ailing from issues in his back and leg for years now and was also unwilling to contest elections, while mulling political retirement. Accordingly, he had stopped taking part in the public programmes and was unavailable to meet public too.
However, in recent months, the health issue took a serious turn and he underwent leg surgery, a few days ago on the advice of the doctors.
