Sharing his heartfelt sympathies with the bereaved family especially Chand's son Anuj Saini at his residence in Sector 27, the Chief Minister appreciated the outstanding contribution of Nek Chand in promoting art and culture through the creation of Rock Garden.
He said that Rock Garden was a world class architectural marvel, which would ever immortalize him in the hearts of millions of his admirers.
Badal said that Nek Chand's pursuit of excellence was a blend of creativity, aesthetics, hard work and zeal to serve the society in his own humble way.
Nek Chand, 90, died here last week following illness.
Chand had been ailing for the past few days and was admitted to a private hospital here.
He was later shifted to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), where he passed away. He is survived by his wife Kamla, son Anuj and daughter Neelam.
