Raipur, September 3, 2009: After getting message from the Government of India, Chhattisgarh government today declared a two days state mourning on the death of Andhra Pradesh chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash yesterday.
Chhattisgarh Government has declared a two-day state mourning, today and tomorrow, in respect of the departed soul of Reddy.
