Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Shaktikanta Das was briefly hospitalized in Chennai on Tuesday after experiencing acidity, Bloomberg reports, citing an RBI spokesman.
The 67-year-old Das was admitted to Apollo Hospital for observation but is expected to be discharged within the next few hours.
“Das experienced acidity,” the spokesman said, adding that he was admitted to Apollo Hospital for observation. “He is now doing fine and will be discharged in the next 2-3 hours. There is no cause for concern.”
