Singer Zubeen Garg’s passing has left Assam devastated. His fans are mourning the late singer’s death, with the Assam government declaring a three-day state of mourning.
Following the passing of singer Zubeen Garg, Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit, and other online food delivery and quick commerce platforms paid a special tribute to remember the singer.
In honour of Zubeen Garg, Swiggy, Zomato, and Blinkit suspended operations throughout the state.
Swiggy has added a pop-up message that reads, “Sorry! Restaurants aren't accepting orders at the moment. Please check back later.” Meanwhile, a similar message was flashed on the Zomato app, “Please check back in a while.”
Additionally, Blinkit shows “currently unavailable” text when the app is opened.
The Assam CMO had earlier declared that during the three days of mourning, there would be no formal entertainment, ceremonial events, or public festivities. Additionally, the Sewa Saptah campaign will be used to carry out "essential activities."
Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, announced a three-day state mourning.
The CM of Assam tweeted, "In loving memory of Assam's eternal voice, Zubeen Garg. As a mark of respect, HCM Dr @himantabiswa has directed that State Mourning be declared from 20th to 22nd September 2025. During this period, all official entertainment, ceremonial programs and public celebrations will be in abeyance."
He continued, "Assam Government stands in solidarity with the people in mourning beloved Zubeen. His legacy will forever resonate in our hearts. Essential service activities under 'Sewa Saptah' will continue, while ceremonial or benefit-distribution events stand postponed.”
Thousands of mourners flocked to the streets to catch a final glimpse of their favourite artist as Zubeen Garg's body started its final journey home from Guwahati airport to Kahilipara on Sunday morning.
With people of all ages and backgrounds lining the streets and sprinkling flowers on the ambulance bearing the legendary singer's mortal remains, the convoy scuttled through a sea of humanity in an emotionally charged atmosphere. The ambulance carrying his body left the airport via the VIP exit, accompanied by his wife, Garima Saikia Garg.
