The Rajasthan government today declared seven-day state mourning as a mark of respect to state Governor Prabha Rau who passed away at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi earlier in the day. State government offices were also closed for the day soon after the news of Rau's death broke. The state Council of Ministers held an emergency meeting under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and condoled her death. Later, Mr Gehlot flew to New Delhi to pay floral tributes to the departed leader.
In a condolence message, the Chief Minister recalled his association with Rau and said, ''It is difficult for me to believe that she has left us.'' Mr Gehlot said Rau had an ambition to work for the welfare of people and spread quality education in the state, for which she even held prolonged discussions with him. The Chief Minister also commended Rau's achievements as the Education Minister in Maharashtra.
