Shiv Sena chief, Bal Thackeray passed away at 3.33 pm today at the age of 85, leaving millions of his followers in distress. The tiger that ruled Mumbai for more than 45 years is no more. His funeral rites procession will start on Sunday at 10 am and cremation will takes place at 3 pm. Thackeray lost his life due to a lung and pancreatic ailment. Thackeray has been suffering from breathlessness and constipation since July this year and was kept under constant medical supervision with a team of doctors stationed at his residence. On Wednesday, his health deteriorated and after two days he showed signs of responding well to the treatment, but unfortunately he left this world forever. Bal Thackeray started his career as a cartoonist in English Daily and later started his own journal. He then entered politics by announcing Shiv Sena in 1966 and emerged as the most charismatic mass leader Maharashtra has ever witnessed. He is survived by his wife Mina, Sons Uddhav and Jaidev.
Shiva Sena leaders appealed to followers and Maharashtra people to stay calm and maintain peace, while speaking at Bal Thackeray's Matoshree residence, where he breathed his last. Around 20,000 cops and central forces are deployed all around Mumbai to control any untoward incidents.
