Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi called NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday to enquire about his health after the 85-year-old leader was hospitalised for a chest infection in Pune, ANI reported.
Pawar was admitted at a private hospital in Pune Monday afternoon after he complained of breathing difficulties and a persistent cough. His daughte

Dr Simon Grant, Physician and Trustee, Ruby Hall Clinic, confirmed that Pawar is recovering well, noting his vital signs are normal, and his overall clinical condition is steadily improving.
