Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel on Monday said Gujarat will observe state-wide mourning on November 2. The decision was taken during a high-level meeting, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, today at Raj Bhavan here.

“A high level meeting was held at Gandhinagar Raj Bhavan chaired by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendrabhai Modi,” Gujarat CM tweeted in Gujarati.

“A decision has been taken in this meeting to observe a state-wide mourning in Gujarat on the next date, November 2, in mourning for the deceased who died in the tragedy of Morbi.”
