Anna Hazare to be discharged today
Pune: Anna Hazare, who underwent a week-long treatment for an acute bronchitis in a city hospital, will be discharged on Sunday, a hospital spokesman said on Saturday.

"Mr Hazare has recovered well but he will need complete rest for a month," Dr Rahul Choube said.

The 74-year-old activist was admitted to Sancheti hospital in Pune on December 31 after he developed a chest infection that led to bronchitis. He was shifted from his hometown Ralegan Siddhi in Ahmednagar district to the city on advice by doctors.

"He is doing well and has started his regular bicycle exercise in the hospital room," Mr Choube added.

Earlier, Dr Parag Sancheti had said Mr Hazare's chest X-rays and blood tests were normal.

Mr Hazare is expected to drive straight to Ralegan Siddhi after his discharge from hospital.
