A bulletin from the hospital, where she was admitted on Wednesday after her health deteriorated, announced the news of her demise. She breathed her last at around 3.30 am.
On her passing away, PM Modi said, “A glorious century rests at the feet of God… In Maa I have always felt that trinity, which contains the journey of an ascetic, the symbol of a selfless Karmayogi and a life committed to values.”
