Vajpayee recovering

By Our Special Correspondent

MUMBAI, JUNE 9. The Prime Minister, Mr. A.B. Vajpayee, continued to make good progress after the knee-joint replacement surgery at Breach Candy hospital on Thursday. But doctors, who described his condition as comfortable, would not allow any dignitary to visit him.

Mr. Vajpayee was made to sit for a while and today resumed solid food and had normal breakfast. The hospital continued to receive hundreds of `get well soon' cards from well- wishers. Several organisations and the BJP held all-religion prayers for his recovery.
