Chandigarh, June 9

Former Indian sprinter Milkha Singh is responding well to medication, but his wife Nirmal Milkha Singh continues to battle the Covid infection, informed the doctors monitoring the couple.

“Milkha continues to improve. Nirmal Milkha Singh, meanwhile, continues to battle hard but is stable,” read a statement issued by Milkha’s family.

Milkha is undergoing treatment for post-Covid complications at the PGI. “His saturation level has improved and he has started taking food himself,” said a source.

Nirmal, a former captain of the Indian women’s volleyball team, is still on oxygen support and has shown little improvement, said a doctor. — TNS
