New Delhi: Sitaram Yechury, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)), has passed away at the age of 72. Yechury died today at 3:05 pm at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi, following a prolonged battle with a severe respiratory infection.
Yechury had been undergoing treatment at AIIMS since August 19 for a pneumonia-like chest infection. Despite intensive care and monitoring by a dedicated team of doctors, his condition deteriorated in recent days.
