*Chief Minister's condolence message*
It is with profound sadness that I have received the news of the demise of the renowned Nepali singer Kumar Subba. The hugely talented artist was from Lebong, Darjeeling, and he passed away last night in a hospital at Siliguri. He was 78 years
Kumar Subba sang for Nepali films, theaters and for All India Radio. He retired from Song & Drama unit of Government of West Bengal.
His sudden departure causes an irreparable loss for the Nepali cultural world as well as our composite way of life in West Bengal.
He was conferred 'Sangeet Samman' in 2012 by Government of West Bengal.
I express my sincere condolences and stand by at the side of the departed artist's family. I also express my solidarity with all his friends, followers and admirers. May his soul rest in peace.
