Madan Lal Khurana's condition improving

Former Delhi chief minister Madan Lal Khurana, who was admitted to the Sir Ganga Ram Hospital (SGRH) here early Thursday following brain haemorrhage, is stable and his condition is improving, a doctor attending on him said Sunday.

"The bleeding inside his brain is clearing and his condition is improving. His blood pressure and pulse rate are normal. He is responding to treatment," Rajesh Acharya, senior consultant, neuro surgery, SGRH told IANS.

"Due to three previous strokes and his old age, he will take some time to recover. He might be taken off ventilator support and shifted out of the ICU in three to four days," the doctor added.

The 76-year-old Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader was admitted to hospital at 3 a.m. Thursday in an unconscious state with bleeding inside his brain. He has been operated upon and the bleeding has been controlled.

The hour-long operation was conducted by Acharya, Samir Kalra and Gaurav Jain of the neurosurgery department.

BJP leaders L.K. Advani, V.K. Malhotra and Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel visited Khurana, the source said.
