Ranchi: The mortal remains of Jharkhand Education Minister Ramdas Soren, who died while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Delhi, were brought to Ranchi Saturday morning, an official said.
The JMM leader’s body arrived at Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Airport and will be kept on the assembly premises, where ministers, legislators and political leaders will pay homage to him, he said.
Several JMM and Congress leaders reached the airport and offered floral tributes.
Soren, who was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Delhi, died Friday night.
“The mortal remains of Education Minister Ramdas Soren were brought to Ranchi’s Bisra Munda Airport. His body will be kept on Jharkhand Assembly premises, where last tributes will be paid,” Soren’s personal secretary Ajay Sinha said.
He said the body will then be taken to his assembly constituency Ghatshila, where it will be kept at Mau Bhandar Maidan and the JMM camp office.
The 62-year-old Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader was airlifted to the hospital in the national capital from Jamshedpur after he fell in the bathroom of his residence August 2.
Soren’s condition was critical, and he was on life support. A multidisciplinary team of senior specialists was closely monitoring his condition and providing intensive medical care.
