Ramgarh , Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday performed the post-death ceremony of ‘Shraddh’ for his mother Rupi Soren at his ancestral village Nemra in Ramgarh district, officials said.
Thousands of people from across Jharkhand and neighbouring states have been taking part in the bhoj. Jharkhand Mukti Morcha general secretary Fagu Besra said, “Three huge pandals have been erected, each with a sitting capacity of over 1,500 people at a time. Over 400 e-rickshaws have been arranged to ferry people from the parking ground to Nemra, the DC said.
The chief minister is himself monitoring all arrangements to ensure that no visitor coming from far-flung areas faces any inconvenience, officials said. Soren met the guests who arrived in Nemra, accepted their greetings and affection, and expressed gratitude to everyone for standing by him in this hour of grief, they said. Ramgarh Deputy Commissioner Rituraj told PTI that the administration has made elaborate security arrangements in view of the massive gathering.
