Jagmohan was 94 (born September 1927) Details are awaited. It was not immediately known if he died at home or in a hospital and if at all he had any virus infection.
Sad news at midnight. Former Jammu & Kashmir Governor Jagmohan passes away. He was a civil servant before becoming Lt. Governor of Delhi and Goa. He was awarded Padma Vibhushan in 2016. For me he was the saviour of Kashmiri Pandits who met ethnic cleansing in 1990. In mourning. pic.twitter.com/nh23cC26PW

Jagmohan Ji’s demise is a monumental loss for our nation. He was an exemplary administrator and a renowned scholar. He always worked towards the betterment of India. His ministerial tenure was marked by innovative policy making. Condolences to his family and admirers. Om Shanti.
