Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann joined thousands of people from all walks of life in bidding a tearful farewell to world-renowned marathoner Fauja Singh, who was cremated at his native village Beas with full state honours on Sunday.
Fauja Singh did not just run marathons; he ran against time, against loss, and against the limitations that society ~ and biology ~ impose on age.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge expressed his deep sadness over the passing away of Fauja Singh, the 114-year-old marathon legend known as the "Turbaned Tornado."
Singh was struck by an unidentified vehicle while crossing a road in his native village, Beas Pind, in Punjab on Monday.
