Religious programmes will be organised in Vadnagar, Modi’s hometown, for the long life and health of his mother, her family said. The Modi family has also planned a ‘bhandaro’ (community meal) at the Jagannath temple in Ahmedabad on that day. Hatkeshwar Mahadev Temple in Vadnagar has organised various religious programmes for the long life and health of the prime minister’s mother.

Earlier, Hitesh Makwana, mayor of the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation (GMC), had announced that it has decided to name a road in Raysan village as `Pujya Hiraba Marg’ so that “the next generation takes inspiration from her life. But on Thursday, the the BJP-ruled civic body GMC issued a statement saying the naming has been put off. The road can not be named at present as the GMC has not yet formulated a policy about the naming of city roads, it said.

“This proposal now stands postponed and will be considered in the future when a policy is formulated,” the statement said.
