NEW DELHI, May 4: Former Union Minister and Jammu and Kashmir Governor Jagmohan, whose tough measures as an administrator in various roles won him many admirers but also drew criticism from some quarters, passed away following a spell of illness. He was 93. President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi today paid tributes to Jagmohan and described him as an exemplary administrator and devoted politician. He passed away yesterday. The Jammu and Kashmir administration has announced three days of state mourning from Tuesday to Thursday on the demise of the former Governor. A civil servant who made his name as a town planner while serving as the Delhi Development Authority’s vice chairperson in the 70s, Jagmohan steered the controversial beautification drive in Delhi as the trusted man of Sanjay Gandhi during the Emergency but his image as a no-nonsense officer and doer endured, earning him key positions, including of Governor and Union Minister, in the later decades.
