Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, known for his role in economic reforms, passes away at the age of 92.

The citizens of New Delhi were saddened by the news of the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday night. He was 92 years old and known as the mastermind behind India's economic reforms. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi, where he was being treated, announced his death. Singh had been admitted to the Emergency ward around 8:30 PM in a critical condition.

According to the AIIMS bulletin, Singh had been receiving treatment for age-related medical issues and had suddenly lost consciousness at home on December 26. Despite efforts to revive him, he was declared dead at 9:51 PM. The bulletin further stated that Singh had been brought to the medical emergency at AIIMS at 8:06 PM, and resuscitative measures were immediately taken. However, they were unable to save him.

Singh had served as prime minister for two terms in the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2014. He had been in poor health for the past few months and is survived by his wife and three daughters. As soon as news of his hospitalization spread, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and her mother Sonia Gandhi rushed to the hospital to be by his side.

Singh was not only known for his time as prime minister but also for his role as the finance minister under former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao. He was the mastermind behind the economic reforms of 1991, which saved India from bankruptcy and brought about a new era of economic liberalization. Many believe that his reforms changed the course of India's economic trajectory.

Interestingly, Singh's passing coincided with the conclusion of the Congress party's Congress Working Committee meeting in Belagavi, Karnataka. It is reported that all top party leaders were present, and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi are on their way to Delhi from Belagavi. The entire nation mourns the loss of a great leader and economist. May his soul rest in peace.
