Parrikar has been undergoing treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer in a New York hospital.
The 62-year-old former Defence Minister has been hospitalised on three occasions in Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital and the Goa Medical College here since mid-February.
He was shifted to the US in March this year for specialised treatment.
Over the last one month, there has been intense speculation about the ailing Chief Minister’s return to Goa.
