Jaitley recovering from respiratory infection

Union Finance and Defence minister Arun Jaitley is making good recovery from a respiratory infection but moved from a private hospital to an isolation facility at AIIMS on Sunday to avoid any recurrence.

Jaitley, 61, who was hospitalised a few days ago after undergoing a planned diabetes management surgery on 2 September, is expected to be discharged from AIIMS in a few days after which he will resume his official work. 

‘Jaitley has recovered satisfactorily from respiratory infection. He has been advised further rest’, official sources said here.
