DMK President M Karunanidhi's health condition has declined, and maintaining his vital organ functions remain a challenge due to age-related ailments, said the private hospital in Chennai where the politician is undergoing treatment.

"He is on continuous monitoring and being treated with active medical support. His response to medical intervention over the next 24 hours will determine the prognosis," Kauvery Hospital's release said on Monday.

The former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister was admitted to the facility on 28 July after his blood pressure dropped. The hospital faced a scare the next day when Karunanidhi, 94, had difficulties in breathing.
