The Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) Monday held a condolence meet to pay tributes to its alumnus, Goa chief minister Manohar Parrikar.
The meeting was held at the institute's P C Saxena auditorium here, an IIT-B spokesperson said.
Parrikar, 63, who had also been the defence minister, died on Sunday evening at his private residence in Goa after battling pancreatic cancer for over a year.
