Kolkata, Mar 5 (UNI): Matua matriarch Binapani Devi, popularly known as 'Boroma', passed away on Tuesday evening at the state-run SSKM Hospital in the city.
She was 102.
She had been suffering from prolonged illness.
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee paid a visit to ailing Binapani Devi as she was in a critical state.
