Itanagar, Dec 27 (Reporter) Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt General (Retd) KT Parnaik and Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Friday condoled the demise of former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh. Dr Singh, the architect of India's economic reforms, breathed his last in AIIMS, Delhi on Thursday night. He was 92. The Governor said that Dr Singh was a distinguished economist and statesman, and was instrumental in liberalizing India's economy, propelling the nation towards significant economic growth. Known for his humility, integrity, and intellectual brilliance, the passing away of Dr Singh marks the end of an era in Indian politics, but his contributions to the State of Arunachal Pradesh, like the Trans-Arunachal Highway, the State Secretariat building, the Pare and Dibang power projects, and the Itanagar water supply scheme will endure as a lasting legacy, he said. "I join the people of Arunachal Pradesh in extending our deepest condolences to his family and relatives," Parnaik said in a condolence message. Condoling the death, Chief Minister Pema Khandu said in a social media post: "Extremely saddening to learn the demise of former Prime Minister and distinguished economist Dr Manmohan Singh Ji. It's a huge loss to the nation." His phenomenal contributions to economic reforms as the Finance Minister in the early 1990s laid the foundation of a vibrant and resilient India, the Chief Minister said. "Dr Singh's passing marks the end of an era in Indian politics. My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family members, kin, admirers, and followers. May the departed soul rest in eternal peace. Om Shanti," Khandu posted on X...////...
