Jamshedpur, Jan 16: Senior JMM leader and transport minister, Champai Soren was moved to a Chennai-based hospital in a special plane from Sonari aerodrome this afternoon.
Notably, Soren (67) was admitted to the Tata Main Hospital after his blood sugar level had shot up excessively on January 14.
According to sources, as there was no remarkable improvement in his sugar level, the doctors in the Tata Main Hospital referred him to DMS, Chennai this morning.
A close friend of the minister, Birendra Pradhan said that the minister gets very little time for sleep which is the main reason behind the fluctuations in the sugar level intermittently.
Pradhan said Soren who represents the Seraikela assembly segment was remaining excessively busy meeting his supporters during the Makar Sankranti festival for the past three-four days, causing him to get sick.
