The process of shifting of Parala Maharaja Gopinath Gajapati Narayan Deb from Chennai to Bhubaneswar for treatment has already begun.
The concerned hospital authorities, a team of doctors and the State Health Secretary would make the required changes in the infrastructure soon. “The king will be transferred to Bhubaneswar once the State Government grants permission,” said Apollo hospital sources.
Meanwhile, the Paralakhemundi king, who weighed 35 kg when admitted in the Apollo Chennai hospital, has shown signs of improvement with his current weight increasing to 5 kg. However, he continues to be bedridden with doctors yet to take a call on his chemotherapy treatment.
The first death anniversary of Parala king’s son Digvijay Singh will be held this month. The king’s daughter Kalyani Devi has expressed her desire to conduct the rituals at Paralakhemundi.
