To day  early morning, Com. Gautam Bose (Pappan), son of Com. Moni Bose, informed over phone that Com Parul Bose, wife of the veteran P&T and central Government employees leader Com.K.G.Bose, passed away about half an hour earlier. She was ailing and was under treatment in hospital for some time.

Com. Parul Bose was a teacher and was closely connected with the trade union movement. During the semi-fascist rule in W.Bengal during the 1970s she was attacked with knife by the Congress goondas while she was at the school. She bravely defended and hence could survive. She was a close companion to Com.KG and looked after the family while her husband was mostly away from the house for orgnisational purposes.

She was invited by me to inaugurate the first KG Bose Bhawan in the country (I think so), the union office of the NFPTE at Kozhikode in 1985. Though she was not well, she undertook the tedious journey from Kolkatta to Kozhikode and inaugurated the same. Her presence was a great inspiration to all the workers.

I had the occasion to meet her several times. Whenever I went to Kolkatta and visited Com.Moni Bose at his residence, I will pay my respects to Com. Parul Bose also who was staying in the adjacent house in the same compound. The families of both the brothers Coms.KG and Moni Bose are living as one family.

I contacted Babu ( Dipankar Bose), son of Com.KG, and conveyed our deep grief and condolences. Com. Animesh Mitra, Circle secretary, W.Bengal and other comrades of BSNLEU are reaching at the residence and assisting inmaking all arrangements for the funeral etc. She was a part of the telecom movement also.

Red Salute to Com. Parul Bose!
