Harish Rana's family held a quiet farewell ceremony at the Green Park cremation ground in South Delhi on Wednesday morning, marking the end of his 13-year ordeal. The 31-year-old man passed away on Tuesday after slipping into a coma in 2013. In a final act of generosity, Harish's family consented to donate five of his organs.
During the last rites, Harish's mother bid an emotional farewell to her son with folded hands, while his father Ashok Rana urged mourners not to cry. The family has set an example before the nation with their decision to donate Harish's organs.
Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajai Rai visited the cremation ground to pay his respects and praised the family for their selfless act. Family members, along with representatives of the Brahma Kumaris, attended the cremation to offer their prayers for Harish.
The body was transported to the cremation ground in an ambulance, and the platform was covered in rose petals. Many mourners paid their last respects with folded hands, and some placed saffron garlands on the body before it was laid upon the pyre.
