Itanagar, Sep 21 (PTI) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Sunday paid homage to singer Zubeen Garg, and said his music inspired millions and became a source of pride for the country.
Zubeen died in Singapore on Friday while swimming in the sea without a life jacket.
“United in tribute, a two-minute silence was observed with the NDA legislators, remembering Shri Zubeen Garg. From Assam to the farthest corners of the Northeast, his music inspired millions and became a source of pride for the country,” Khandu said in a post on X.
“Our prayers for his soul’s peace accompanied this silence, honouring the joy and unity his music brought to countless lives,” he said.
Draped in a traditional Assamese ‘gamosa’, Zubeen’s mortal remains arrived in a glass casket at the Sarusajai stadium in Guwahati on Sunday afternoon.
The mortal remains of Garg have been placed at a pandal inside the sports complex, with an alternate site prepared within the stadium premises in case of heavy rain. PTI UPL RBT
