Four-time Goa Chief Minister loses year-long battle to pancreatic cancer
Four-time Goa Chief Minister and former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, 63, died at his private residence near here on Sunday after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer for over a year.

“The Chief Minister died around 6.40 p.m. on Sunday,” a senior State government official said.
Sources said Mr. Parrikar was put on life support late on Saturday night. A widower, he is survived by his two sons and their families.
National mourning
The Central government announced national mourning on Monday. The Union Cabinet will meet at 10 a.m. on Monday to condole his demise.
