Today, 8th August 2025, is the 12th death anniversary of veteran P & T leader Com.S.R.Nayak, who passed away on this day in 2013.

Since the latter half of the 1970s, I had close contact with Com. S.R.Nayak of the M.P.Telecom circle. In the various all India Conferences of the AITEE Union Class III ( E.III Union in short), we were part of the same group fighting for correct policy and democratic functioning in the union, under the leadership of Com.K.G.Bose.. He had to face severe harassment and punishments both from the circle union as well as the Department for his union activities.

In the historic Bhopal All India Conference of E.III Union in 1991, he was elected as the Asst General Secretary. He was elected as the Circle Secretary of E.III Union and later as Circle Secretary of the BSNLEU M.P.Circle, in which post he continued for years.

In all the struggles he was in the forefront. He was a fighter and continued as such. He organised and brought many active workers and leaders for the organisation. I have close connection with him for more than four decades. We have toured the undivided M.P.Circle more than once in connection with the membership Verification in the early period.

He left us forever on 8th August 2013 at a Delhi Hospital, where he was under treatment for some weeks.

Red Salute to Com.SR Nayak !
