Former Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh dies at 92
He was admitted to the emergency department of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), where he breathed his last, the hospital confirmed.
The former prime minister was administered CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), but efforts to revive him remained unsuccessful, said sources.
Born on September 26, 1932, in Gah village, West Punjab (now in Pakistan), Singh’s life was a testament to service, scholarship, and leadership. He earned a Master’s degree in Economics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, and later obtained a doctorate from the University of Oxford.
Singh served as prime minister from May 22, 2004, to May 26, 2014, leading the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government for a historic 3,656 days. His tenure made him the 3rd longest-serving prime minister in Indian history, following Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi. (Indian Express)
