Ailing road, transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader is now talking normally to family members and physicians as his condition is improving gradually, reports news agency UNB.

There is a possibility to shift the minister to a cabin from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) on Monday, said professor Abu Nasar Rizvi of the neuromedicine department at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on Sunday morning, quoting a member of the medical board treating Quader at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.

The minister was taken to Singapore on 4 March for better treatment following the advice of renowned Indian cardiologist Devi Shetty.

He was admitted to the CCU of BSMMU in the capital on 3 March following his breathing complications.
