Puttaparthi
(Andhra Pradesh): Millions of devotees of the Hindu
spiritual leader Sathya Sai Baba are on the edge as Sathya Sai
Central Trust is set to make a key announcement on his condition
in a couple of hours Sunday.
For the first time since the Hindu
saint was admitted to Sathya Sai Baba super speciality on March
27, the doctors did not issue a morning bulletin on Sunday,
heightening anxiety in this pilgrim town.
Sathya Sai Central Trust, which runs social service activities in
India and abroad, is to hold a media conference at 11 a.m. to make
an important announcement.
In the Saturday evening bulletin, the doctors had termed Baba's
condition as very critical.
Fearing the worst, hundreds of devotees in the town broke down as
their hopes for recovery of the 85-year-old Hindu spiritual guru
appear to be fading.
Major Industries Minister Geeta Reddy and senior government
officials rushed to the hospital Sunday morning and were holding
meeting with doctors and trust officials before making an
announcement.
The state government has gone on high alert. More than 6,000
policemen were rushed to the town for deployment and to make
arrangements for the visits of VIPs.
