Comrade Sher Singh, a veteran labour rights activist and founder of ‘Faridabad Majdoor Samachar’ passed away on January 25, 2025 at the age of 75. The Faridabad Majdoor Samachar is a monthly workers’ newspaper published from Majdoor Library, Autopin Jhuggi, Faridabad since 1982.
During the June 2011 Maruti workers strike in Manesar, while mainstream media framed the event as workers “occupying” the factory, Sher Singh and Faridabad Majdoor Samachar spearheaded the campaign to amplify the voices of struggling workers and their cause. His loss Is immeasurable, but his legacy endures in the countless lives he touched.
Red Salute to Comrade Sher Singh.
