Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who underwent a successful coronary by-pass surgery to overcome multiple blockages to his heart, is "doing fine" and has been taken off the ventilator, a senior doctor said today.
The 76-year-old Prime Minister "is doing fine now. He is conscious. He also met his family and congratulated all doctors," Dr Ramakant Panda, a specialist of Mumbai's Asian Heart Institute, who led the team of doctors during the surgery, said.


Satisfied with Singh's "improving condition", the doctors have also withdrawn ventilator, he said.


"Ventilator has been taken off and he is breathing on his own. This is an important step," Panda said
