Rangarajans to shift to guest house

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, JULY 25. The Governor, Dr. C. Rangarajan, and his wife, Haripriya, will shift to the North Guest House on the Raj Bhavan premises till repairs are carried out to the bedroom and other chambers by the Roads and Buildings authorities.

Senior engineers of the Roads and Buildings Department inspected the Raj Bhavan this morning to plan out repairs to the buildings so as to avoid any further mishaps. Officials of the State Government emphasised that the day-to-day upkeep of the Governor's bungalow was the responsibility of a maintenance wing in the Raj Bhavan.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Haripriya Rangarajan, who sustained a leg injury when a piece of plaster from the ceiling fell on her while she was asleep in a freak accident on Monday, is recovering and is likely to be discharged from the Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) on Wednesday.

The Chief Minister, Mr. N. Chandrababu Naidu, visited NIMS once again today to call on her and enquire from doctors about her condition. The Governor, having cancelled his engagements for the day, was also in the hospital.

The Vice-President, Mr. Krishan Kant, the Prime Minister, Mr. A. B. Vajpayee, the Union Minister, Mr. B. Dattatreya, and other leaders are understood to have telephoned Dr. Rangarajan to enquire about his wife's health and wish her speedy recovery.
