Singh, who was appointed as political advisor to National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah in December last year, is survived by his wife, two sons and three daughters.<\/p>\n

Singh’s elder son, Kulwant Singh said that his father had been unwell for some time and was undergoing treatment at the Jammu hospital, where he breathed his last around 2 am.<\/p>\n

The last rites would be held at the Shastri Nagar cremation ground at 5 pm, he said.<\/p>\n

Singh served as cabinet minister in the government headed by Abdullah from 1996 to 2002.<\/p>\n

NC provincial president Rattan Lal Gupta said he was deeply saddened by Singh’s passing.<\/p>\n

“His invaluable contribution and dedicated service to society will always be remembered,” Gupta said.<\/p>\n

He prayed for eternal peace for the departed soul and strength for the bereaved family to bear the irreparable loss.<\/p>\n
