Delhi's GB Pant hospital on Sunday withdrew its controversial order of directing its nursing staff "to use only Hindi and English for communication".

The hospital earlier sparked a row when it issued a circular asking its nursing staff not to use Malayalam at work as "maximum patients and colleagues do not know the language".

The nurses body had objected to the circular asking why was Malayalam being singled out.

The hospital took the decision after Delhi's Health Minister Satyendra Kumar Jain ordered the circular to be immediately withdrawn .

Reportedly, the Delhi government will also issue a memo against the Medical Supervisor (MS), which will be forwarded to the nursing superintendent of the state-owned hospital.
