Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was yesterday discharged from AIIMS, more than a week after he underwent a successful coronary by-pass surgery at the prestigious hospital.

"Prime Minister has been discharged from AIIMS. He was very cheerful and was enquiring about activities and happenings. He is on his way to recovery," Union Health Minister Ambumani Ramdoss told reporters here.

"I am sure he will recover quickly and it is going to take him about 2 to 3 weeks to come to office and work. In fact, in a week’s time, he will start working from home."
