Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann discharged from hospital

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann was discharged from Fortis Hospital in Mohali on Thursday, days after he was hospitalised following exhaustion and low heart rate.

"Mann was discharged from Fortis Hospital, Mohali, today after being reviewed by a team of senior doctors. He is in good health and his vital parameters are stable," the hospital said in a statement.

On Wednesday, the hospital authorities said Mann had shown significant improvement and doctors were evaluating the possibility of his discharge on Thursday.

The 51-year-old chief minister was hospitalised on September 5 after he complained of exhaustion and low heart rate.

Mann on Monday chaired a cabinet meeting from the hospital through video-conferencing. The meeting was earlier postponed because of his illness.

He was also unable to accompany AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on a visit to flood-affected areas earlier.

About a year ago, he was treated for a bacterial infection at the same hospital.
