Official spokespersons of both state governments said that as per the letter of the Union home ministry, during this mourning period, no official celebrations would be held in the offices of the Punjab government and the national flag would be flown at half-mast.
Punjab governor and UT administrator Gulab Chand Kataria expressed deep sorrow and grief. 'With profound grief and deepest reverence, I mourn the passing of Dr Manmohan Singh, who served as the 13th Prime Minister of India from 2004 to 2014 - a period that marked a transformative era in our nation's journey. Dr Singh was not merely a political figure, but a visionary statesman who reshaped India's economic and social landscape through his remarkable leadership and intellectual brilliance', the governor said.
Haryana chief minister Nayab Saini in a condolence message, said, "The country has lost not only a visionary statesman but also a dedicated servant of the nation and a great economist." Expressing grief, former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda said, "Manmohan Singh was a great economist and pioneer of economic reforms who took the country forward on the path of progress. His death has caused an irreparable loss for the nation."
