No improvement in Dasmunsi health condition, still on life support

New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) Ten days after he was shifted from the All India Institute for Medical Sciences to the Apollo hospital, the condition of Information and Broadcasting Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi today continued to remain critical, hospital sources said.

''The medical condition of Union Minister Priya Ranjan Dasmunsi remains the same and he continues to be on life support,'' said a spokesperson for the Apollo hospital where Mr Dasmunsi was shifted on October 20 from AIIMS.

Since then, the condition of the Union Minister has remained critical.
