Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh was admitted to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh on Sunday evening for undergoing a laser procedure for removal of kidney stone.
The procedure for removal of kidney stone will be performed today and the 76-year-old chief minister hopes to resume work by Tuesday.
"Got myself admitted to the PGI Chandigarh today evening for removal of a Kidney stone, a simple laser procedure will be performed tomorrow morning & I shall be returning to my work by Tuesday (sic)," he said in tweet on Sunday.
Amarinder Singh had undergone routine medical tests at the PGI on December 9 as a follow-up after a bout of viral fever a week before.
Doctors at PGI had then said all the tests were normal and the chief minister had slight weakness as he was making a full recovery.
