Congress veteran and former Kerala chief minister, Oommen Chandy, passed away on Tuesday (July 18) at the age of 79, as announced by his family and Kerala Congress president K Sudhakaran.

In light of the passing of the two-time chief minister of Kerala, the state government has made the decision to declare today (July 18) as a public holiday. This holiday serves as a mark of respect and tribute to the late chief minister. As a result, all government offices and educational institutions, including professional colleges, will remain closed on Tuesday. The people of Kerala will observe a period of mourning for two days.

The Mahatma Gandhi University has also cancelled all the exams scheduled for 18 July.

Expressing his sorrow, Sudhakaran tweeted, “The tale of the king who triumphed over the world with the power of ‘love’ finds its poignant end. Today, I am deeply saddened by the loss of a legend, Oommen_Chandy. He touched the lives of countless individuals, and his legacy will forever resonate within our souls. RIP!”

Chandy, who served as the chief minister of Kerala twice, breathed his last in Bengaluru in the early hours of Tuesday, according to the announcement made by his family. Chandy’s son, Chandy Oommen, shared the news on his Facebook page simply stating, “Appa has passed away.”

Having been unwell for a considerable period, Chandy had been receiving treatment at a healthcare facility in Bengaluru.

Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan also conveyed deep sorrow over Chandy’s demise.
