Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, known as the architect of India’s economic reforms, has passed away at the age of 92. The sad news was confirmed by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi, where Singh was admitted to the Emergency ward in critical condition around 8.30 PM.

Despite immediate resuscitative measures taken at home, he was rushed to the medical emergency at AIIMS Delhi at 8.06 PM. Unfortunately, all efforts to revive him were unsuccessful, and he was pronounced dead at 9.51 PM. Singh served as Prime Minister for two terms in the Congress-led UPA government from 2004 to 2014.
