andigarh, May 25

Legendary athlete Milkha Singh, who is being treated for Covid-19 at a private hospital here, is clinically stable with decreasing oxygen requirement, informed the team of doctors treating the 91-year-old.

Desperate to return to his normal routine, the former Indian sprinter wished to take a stroll today. However, doctors advised him rest.

“He is doing fine, but still under observation at the ICU. He is not eating anything, but doctors termed it fine. Our daughter Mona Milkha Singh, a doctor in the USA, will reach here tomorrow. Thereafter, she will be interacting with doctors and Milkha,” said Milkha’s wife Nirmal Milkha Singh. — TNS
