114-yr-old marathoner Fauja Singh cremated with full state honours

World's oldest marathoner Fauja Singh was cremated with full state honours at his native Bias village in Jalandhar district on Sunday afternoon.

Punjab governor Gulab Chand Kataria, chief minister Bhagwant Mann, Congress MLAs Pargat Singh and Rana Gurjeet Singh, and SAD leader Daljit Singh Cheema paid floral tributes to the runner, famously known as “Turbaned Tornado”.

Hundreds of people gathered at the residence of Fauja Singh and village's cremation ground to get his glimpse for the last time. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a special condolence letter to the bereaved family on Sunday.

Fauja Singh’s eldest son Sukhjinder Singh lit the pyre after Punjab Police gunners performed the gun salute in honour of the centenarian athlete.
