Parrikar, after being diagnosed with the ailment, was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai on 15 February and was discharged on 22 February. He returned to Goa the same day and presented the budget in the Assembly, but the session was truncated to only four days owing to his illness. He was then admitted to the Goa Medical College and Hospital on 25 February after he complained of dehydration and was discharged four days later. The chief minister went to Mumbai again on 5 March for his further check up from where he was referred to the USA. He left for the US on 7 March. Before leaving Goa, Parrikar had formed a cabinet advisory committee to guide the state administration on governance and other issues in his absence. He has been monitoring the affairs of the state from the US. With inputs from PTI
