My rooster is gaping for air with closed eyes
He is too weak that he even can not walk
There is no swelling and no discharge from his nostrils..
I have given him antibiotics since two days and here is the link of video of how he is behaving

 
It could be gapeworm or a respiratory disease. Chickens with gapeworm look very similar, and are not able to eat or drink, so his not being able to stand would make me want to treat for it. Can you get fenbendazole, albendazole, or levamisole for livestock worming there? I believe another BYC member @Saaniya can get albendazole. Let me look up a thread for the name. We can help you with dosage when we know which you can get.
 
Here is the brand of albendazole available in India:

What antibiotic are you using at this time?

Is this the same rooster you asked for help with in the other 2 threads?

Do you notice any plaques or lesions inside his beak. In the video he looks like he is swallowing at one point - is his crop emptying completely overnight?

In another thread you had posted some photos - he had some yellow crust on the face - do you remember if that would food or has he had a discharge from the eyes or nostrils?

As @Eggcessive mentioned, it could be gapeworm or respiratory illness. Hopefully @Saaniya will chime in with some tips as well.
