Veteran human rights campaigner from Jharkhand, Comrade Tridib Ghosh, fell to Covid-19 in Ranchi on 15 December. In the 1980s and 1990s Ghosh da was a popular leader of Indian People's Front and CPIML in the Ranchi-Hazaribagh region.

We will always remember his outrage against police atrocities and oppression of adivasis and his warmth and affection for comrades. Red Salute, Ghosh da!
