Kauvery Hospital releases Karunanidhi’s photo, says he is recovering well

CHENNAI: Kauvery Hospital in Chennai on Wednesday released a photo of DMK president and former Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi who has been undergoing treatment there since Thursday night for throat and lung infection.
The hospital said the DMK chief is recovering well and will be discharged after the completion of the course of antibiotics.
The photo released by the hospital shows Karunanidhi sitting in a chair and watching TV.
The DMK chief underwent trachesotomy (insertion of a tube to the airway) to optimise breathing. The tube is not visible in the photo released by the hospital since his neck is covered with a cloth.
It may be recalled that Karunanidhi had demanded release of a photo or video of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa while she was undergoing treatment in Apollo Hospitals. But neither a photo nor a video was released. Jayalalithaa died on December 5.
