Following this, the Indian High Commission in Singapore will make all necessary arrangements to repatriate Zubeen’s mortal remains to India. For this, several No Objection Certificates (NOCs) will be required. According to a source in Singapore, no flight arrangements have been finalized yet.
It is possible that Zubeen’s body may be brought to New Delhi via a chartered flight, which would require at least 5–6 hours. Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for External Affairs, Pabitra Margherita, told Asomiya Pratidin the same: the exact timing of the body’s arrival is still not confirmed.
Margherita also highlighted that Singapore’s laws are very strict and stated that the repatriation will take place only after all legal procedures and NOCs are obtained. Therefore, it is still uncertain when Zubeen’s mortal remains will reach Assam.
Fans and well-wishers across Assam and India continue to await the return of Zubeen Garg’s mortal remains, as authorities coordinate with Singaporean officials to complete all formalities. The exact timing of his arrival remains uncertain, but preparations are underway to ensure he is brought home with full honours.
