PM passed fit after heart tests: Doctor

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has been declared fit to resume work after a series of medical tests for heart-related problems, his doctor said on Wednesday.

"The prime minister underwent coronary angiography along with a series of other tests," K. S. Reddy told reporters at the state-owned hospital where two days of tests were conducted.

"He will be returning home tonight and will be resuming his duties from tomorrow."

Singh, 76, was advised to cancel a trip to Kolkata and undergo tests after he complained of chest pains, an official from his office said.

Singh has largely been in good health since he was sworn in as prime minister in May 2004 but he recently underwent surgery for a "benign enlargement" of the prostate gland and has also had cataract treatment.

India is due to hold general elections before May.
