Chandigarh, February 1

Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, admitted to PGIMER here after he complained of chest congestion and fever last week, will stay in hospital till he recovers fully.

A medical team of doctors attending on 88-year-old Badal was fully satisfied with the constant pace of his recovery and further decided to keep him in hospital till he recovered fully from the chest infection, said a Spokesperson of the Chief Minister's Office here.

The reports of routine tests done on Badal were fine, he said.

The doctors further advised to keep restriction on the entry of visitors calling on him to enquire about his well-being to ensure further speedy recovery from chest infection.

After having thoroughly examined the Chief Minister, doctors' team revealed that he was responding well to the treatment as all his other health indicators were normal, the Spokesperson said.

Badal had taken ill when he was on a visit to Nawanshahr last week and had been shifted to PGIMER from a hospital there on January 23. — PTI
