The condition of Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who is being treated for mild pancreatitis, is fine and he is under observation, a source close to him said today.

He is being treated at the Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai's suburban Bandra under the care of noted oncologist P Jagannath.

"Parrikar is doing fine. He watched the India-South Africa cricket match yesterday. He is on a liquid diet," the source said.

The chief minister is undergoing tests at the hospital and a decision on his discharge will be taken later in the day, the source added.
