Irom Chanu Sharmila, who has been on a fast unto death agitation for the more than six years now demanding removal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958, was operated upon at Shija Hospital and Research Institute here today to remove a lump which started appearing on her chin.
Briefing mediapersons in this connection, Managing Director of Shija Hospitals and Plastic surgeon Dr Kh Palin informed that the lump that appeared on the chin of Sharmila was due to fat deposit and it required a minor operation called liposuction to remove it.
