INDIA'S PRIME MINISTER MANMOHAN SINGH HAD MINOR WRIST SURGERY SUNDAY AND WILL WORK FROM HOME FOR TWO DAYS, HIS SPOKESMAN SAID. THE SURGERY ON SINGH'S LEFT WRIST AT THE ARMY HOSPITAL IN NEW DELHI FOLLOWS A SIMILAR PROCEDURE ON HIS RIGHT WRIST IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, SAID A STATEMENT FROM SINGH'S MEDIA ADVISER, SANJAYA BARU. «THIS COMPLETES THE PROCEDURE ADVISED BY DOCTORS TO RELIEVE PRESSURE ON A NERVE NEAR BOTH WRISTS,» BARU SAID. «AFTER (THE) SUCCESSFUL SURGERY, THE PRIME MINISTER HAS RETURNED TO HIS RESIDENCE FROM WHERE HE WILL ATTEND TO HIS NORMAL OFFICIAL DUTIES. HE WILL BE ATTENDING OFFICE AFTER TWO DAYS' REST.» SINGH IS 74, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTED.
