Chennai: PMK founder leader S Ramadoss, hospitalised here since his release on bail last week after 12-day imprisonment, would undergo a heart surgery on Monday, the party said.
A team of doctors at the corporate hospital here where he was admitted on May 11 decided to perform the surgery, a PMK release said on Sunday.
