NATIONAL Council for Indian Culture (NCIC) first vice president Surujdeo Mangaroo has called for the council's late president to be posthumously awarded the nation's highest honour.

He made the call during his tribute to Deoroop Teemal during the former NCIC president's funeral on August 6 at the Divali Nagar site.

Mangroo described Teemal's passing as a loss not just for loved ones but the entire nation and world, whom he served with distinction.
