Even as the Panaji bench of the Bombay High Court is hearing a petition seeking public disclosure of ailing CM Manohar Parrikar's health status, BJP MLAs who met Parrikar at his private residence on Saturday, said that the former Defence Minister was "recovering well" and in a position to carry on his professional duties.

"He individually asked each MLA about the difficulties they face and suggested resolutions to bottlenecks whenever they cropped up," Panchayat Minister Mauvin Godinho told reporters after attending Saturday's meeting at Parrikar's residence.
