Overview

  • JMM spokesperson Kunal Sarangi and Apollo Hospital authorities confirmed Soren’s death late Friday after two weeks on life support for a head injury sustained on August 2.
  • The minister’s mortal remains were flown to Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Airport early Saturday and placed at the Jharkhand Assembly for ministers, legislators and the public to pay last respects.
  • Chief Minister Hemant Soren, Governor Santosh Kumar Gangwar and leaders from JMM, Congress and BJP laid wreaths before the body was sent on to Ghatshila for final rites.
  • Education responsibilities assigned during the monsoon session remain vacant, and Soren’s Ghatshila seat will require a by-election to fill the legislative gap.
  • A three-time MLA and senior tribal leader in Hemant Soren’s cabinet, Soren was known for his grassroots work and advocacy for education in Kolhan.
