"She is stable. I saw her in the morning, she had a sound sleep on Tuesday night and was feeling better," Said Dr MC Misra, chief of Trauma Centre. The doctors are waiting for her culture reports before deciding to go ahead with the surgeries.

Sinha was pushed out of the general compartment of the Padmawati Express near Bareilly on April 11 while resisting a chain-snatching attempt. Her left leg was crushed when it came under the wheels of a passing train, and had to be amputated.
