Moopanar still critical

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, AUG. 29. The condition of the TMC president, Mr. G.K. Moopanar, continues to be critical. A medical bulletin from the Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute says that ``Mr. Moopanar continues to be on large supportive measures for his lung function and to maintain his blood pressure and urine output. As long as this trend continues the consultants feel that it is very difficult to be dogmatic to predict the outcome of the treatment for now.''

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Ms. Jayalalithaa, visited the hospital. The DMK president, Mr. M. Karunanidhi, and the TMC Democratic Forum founder, Mr. P. Chidambaram, were among those who met Mr. Moopanar's son, Mr. G.K. Govindavasan, at the hospital.

The Congress president, Ms. Sonia Gandhi, is expected to visit Chennai tomorrow to enquire about Mr. Moopanar's health.
