'Lata Didi amar rahe': Fans gather outside her residence to bid adieu to singing legend

Hundreds of fans, young and old, flocked Lata Mangeshkar's residence Prabhu Kunj to pay their last respects.

Mumbai: Chanting slogans, singing songs and waiting for hours just to get a final glimpse of their icon -- that's how Lata Mangeshkar's fans bid a tearful adieu to the singing legend as her final journey began from her residence in south Mumbai to Shivaji Park for the last rites.

Hundreds of fans, young and old, flocked Mangeshkar's residence Prabhu Kunj to pay their last respects to the music icon who died due to multi-organ failure following COVID diagnosis.

Traffic and city police were deployed in large numbers to ensure the busy Pedder Road near her residence doesn't turn chock-a-block, as fans gathered on both sides of the road on a humid Mumbai afternoon.
