According to sources, the team has to report about the girl's condition to the Health Ministry everyday. Giving details of the victim's condition, Dr Sharma said, "She is hemodynamically stable, which means her BP, pulse rate, respiration were in acceptable limit, and she has shown significant improvement over the last three days."
Dr Sharma further said, "If the girl's condition remains stable, then she may be taken off the ventilator on Friday, on which she was until Thursday."
