The Goa chief minister's body has been kept at the BJP office in Panaji for the party leaders and workers to pay their last respects.

From there, his body would be taken to Kala Academy, around three km away, to allow the public pay their tribute to him. Parrikar, a four-time chief minister, died at his private residence Sunday evening after battling a pancreatic ailment since February last year.
