Kolkata: CPI-M patriarch Jyoti Basu was
today discharged from a private hospital following improvement
in his condition and he returned home.
"Basu is progressing well. The medical board
constituted for his treatment met this morning and reviewed
his condition and decided to discharge him today," a medical
bulletin issued by AMRI Hospital at Salt Lake here.
"The panel of doctors will continue to monitor his
progress at his residence from time to time," it said.
Basu would now be kept under watch by specialised
doctors round the clock at his residence, sources said.
The 96-year-old veteran Marxist leader was admitted to
the hospital last Sunday after he fell unconscious at his Salt
Lake residence.
