Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal will have to stay in PGI for another day as the doctors on Monday once again deferred his discharge from the hospital. Badal is said to be improving gradually and doctors have just kept him under observation for some more time.
A team of doctors attending Badal expressed satisfaction over the pace of recovery from chest infection. A spokesperson of the Chief Minister’s Office said that the Head, Department of Pulmonary Medicine Dr. D. Behra after thoroughly examining the Chief Minister Monday evening said that he was satisfactorily getting better day by day as his all medical reports were fine and showing signs of remarkable recovery.
Dr Behra said that the Chief Minister would be kept under observation in hospital till the infection was completely cleared.
Badal was brought to PGI after he felt some trouble with breathing. He was diagnosed with having chest congestion and asthmatic attack. He has been recuperating in the Respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital since then.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Badal in the hospital on Sunday during his visit to the city.
