India track and field legend Milkha Singh, who is currently undergoing treatment at Nehru Hospital Extension at Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, is responding well to the treatment, the institute confirmed on Saturday afternoon. The 91-year-old is currently battling COVID-19 and has been kept under the supervision of three doctors.    The director of the medical institute, Jagat Ram, earlier in the day released a video in this regard and gave all the updates related to the former athlete's health. In the video, the director said that Milkha Singh was admitted on June 3 and confirmed about the improvment in his health.  The step was taken to debunk a video, which has been doing rounds on social media, claiming Milkha Singh lost the fight against COVID.
