Former Minister of Arunachal Pradesh Takar Marde has passed away today. He was a three-time MLA representing the 26th Dumporijo constituency and had also served as Deputy Speaker of the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly.
He served as the Home Minister of Arunachal Pradesh in 2011, when the late Jarbom Gamlin took over as Chief Minister following the death of his predecessor Dorjee Khandu in a chopper crash.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju shared a condolence message, describing Marde as “a seasoned politician, a man of words and kind-hearted,” and said that his contributions to the state would be cherished forever.
Condolences have been extended to the bereaved family, with prayers offered for the peace of the departed soul.
