New Delhi A month after his repeat bypass heart surgery, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is now fit to resume his work, doctors attending on him said.

"The Prime Minister's four weeks recovery time is over.

Four weeks mean there is good amount of healing. He is now more or less independent and he can resume work," Dr Vijay D'silva, ICU specialist and one of the doctors from Asian Heart Institute attending on Singh, told PTI.

Singh underwent a 'redo' coronary artery bypass surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on January 24 as doctors removed five blockages in his heart. He was discharged from the hospital on February one.

The sternum bone, (chest or breastbone) which helps to protect lungs, heart and major blood vessels from physical trauma, was cut open to gain access to the thoracic contents while performing the 14-hour long cardiothoracic surgery, has also been "fixed", he said.

As per the norms to be followed by such patients, the Prime Minister will now be on diet restrictions and will have to undergo physiotherapy and exercises for another one week.

No issues, we have 3 PM's right now by Shankar on 23 Feb 2009

Your are fit or un-fit, it does not matter Madam Sonia and Pappu Rahul. Only they need you to be alive, and the actual PM of the country is Sonia or Rahul. What makes you difference when you are un-concious who was the active Prime Minister of India, no body knows only Madam and Son knows. Hence no issues or no worries we have three Prime Minister for this country Active Sonia, Acting Rahul and Dummy Manmohan Singh.
