Garima Saikia Garg, wife of the late singer Zubeen Garg, is scheduled to travel to Mumbai to undergo advanced medical treatment and structured psychological counselling. The medical team attending to her at Nemcare Hospital in Guwahati recommended the relocation after observing persistent sleep disturbances and severe emotional strain following her bereavement.
Current Medical Evaluation and Planned Relocation
Dr Hitesh Baruah, Managing Director of Nemcare Hospitals, outlined the medical roadmap during a press briefing on Tuesday. He noted that while her vital physiological metrics remain stable, with blood pressure and blood sugar readings remaining well within normal clinical limits, her psychological state requires dedicated intervention. The profound grief caused by the loss of her husband has led to severe depressive symptoms, emotional fatigue, and sustained sleeplessness.
The clinical team at Nemcare Hospital administered preliminary therapies and stabilization measures. However, medical specialists concluded that an advanced therapeutic institution would offer a much better environment for intensive counselling and emotional recuperation. Garima is anticipated to depart for Mumbai within the next two to three days, with the specific medical facility being finalized in direct coordination with her family members.
Targeted Clinical Regimen Spanning Fifteen to Twenty Days
The therapeutic schedule in Mumbai is projected to extend across a duration of 15 to 20 days. This regimen aims to provide an isolated, restorative space free from public strain, complemented by focused professional guidance to help her process grief and restore normal sleep cycles.
Addressing reporters about her health trajectory, Dr Baruah said,
"She is not in any kind of danger, but she is under considerable stress. She is unable to get adequate sleep, particularly at night. We have done whatever we could here, but we want her to receive better counselling at a higher-level institution."He elaborated that receiving specialized institutional support alongside undisturbed rest will enable her to regain health and return home within a short span.
Call for Public Restraint and Respect for Personal Privacy
During the briefing, Dr Baruah directed a sincere appeal to the people across Assam, urging the public to show empathy and honour Garima's private space as she navigates this intense grieving process. He emphasised that people should refrain from scrutinising her decisions, exerting unwanted public pressure, or intruding into her future plans.
Highlighting the collective responsibility of well-wishers, Dr Baruah remarked,
"I want to appeal to the people that if we want to keep Zubeen alive, we must look after Garima. Whatever she has planned for the future, we should not interfere with those plans."He stressed that the primary priority must remain her holistic well-being, ensuring she regains adequate strength to lead her life according to her personal aspirations.
Hospitalisation Following Event at Assam Jatiya Bidyalay
Garima was initially admitted to Nemcare Hospital on Saturday after abruptly falling unwell during a special gathering at Assam Jatiya Bidyalay in Guwahati. Following the sudden episode of distress, she was swiftly transported to the medical centre, where attending physicians initiated emergency examinations and clinical care.
Her psychological and physical fatigue stems directly from the immense trauma following the passing of Zubeen Garg on September 19, 2025. Healthcare experts handling her case maintain that a change of setting, combined with dedicated counselling and complete downtime, is essential for her comprehensive recovery.
