Chennai: DMK president M Karunanidhi was on Friday discharged from the Kauvery Hospitals here where he was undergoing treatment for nearly a fortnight for his throat and lung infection.

This was the second time the veteran leader was admitted to the hospital this month.

On Dec 1, he was admitted to the hospital after suffering from hydration. He was discharged on December 7 and advised rest for a few days.
