There will be no change of guard ceremony on Saturday due to the national mourning on the demise of former prime minister Manmohan Singh, according to a statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan.<\/p>\n
Manmohan Singh, the architect of India’s economic reforms, breathed his last at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Thursday night. He was 92.<\/p>\n
“The change of guard ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan will not take place tomorrow (December 28, 2024) due to national mourning,” the president’s office said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The change of guard ceremony is a military tradition that is held every week to enable a fresh group of the President’s Bodyguards to take charge.<\/p>\n
A seven-day national mourning will be observed throughout the country as a mark of respect to the former prime minister and during this period, the national flag will be flown at half-mast across India, the Union Home Ministry has announced.<\/p>\n
