Haryana Minister Anil Vij had fractured his thigh bone after slipping in the bathroom (File)

Ambala:

Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij was on Friday discharged from a private hospital in Mohali where he underwent a surgery after he fractured a thigh bone last week.

Anil Vij, who is also the health minister, has been advised complete rest for some days.

A number of BJP workers were present at his Ambala Cantonment residence to welcome the 67-year-old leader.

On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi telephoned mr Vij and enquired about his well-being.

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had twice visited the hospital to enquire about his health.

The minister fractured his left thigh bone on June 9 when he slipped in the bathroom of his home while taking a bath. A day later, he underwent a surgery at the hospital.

This was the second such incident involving Anil Vij in the recent past. A few months ago, the minister had slipped in the bathroom and sustained minor injuries to his chest.
