BJP Rajya Sabha MP Saroj Pandey sustained injuries after she slipped and fell at her residence in Chhattisgarh's Durg district on Thursday, officials here said.

A green corridor was created to shift her from Sector-9 hospital in Bhilai, where she was admitted soon after the incident, to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Raipur, for further treatment, they said.

The 53-year-old MP slipped and fell at her home in the Maitri Nagar locality of Durg and sustained injuries on her leg and waist, a statement issued by the state's public relations department said.

She was initially admitted at Sector-9 hospital in Bhilai where doctors advised to shift her to Raipur for better medical care, it said.

On the direction of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, a 40km-long green corridor was created from Bhilai to Raipur and Pandey was shifted to AIIMS in the state capital in around 25 minutes in the evening, a police official said.
