Doctors have advised Bhujbal to rest for a few days to ensure a smooth recovery. Following medical recommendations, the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Minister will refrain from meeting visitors during this period.
“His health is stable, and he is expected to make a full recovery and resume his official duties soon,” the statement from his office said.
