The cremation procession started from the Prithviraj Road residence of the former deputy prime minister at 3 pm and proceeded for the Nigam Bodh Ghat.

Kamla Advani died on Wednesday at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences following a heart attack.

She was taken to the AIIMS last evening following complaints of uneasiness and breathlessness. Efforts to revive her by the doctors did not succeed.
