CPIML mourns the sudden demise of Shri Manoj Srivastav, former bureaucrat and academician, who succumbed to Covid19 in Patna AIIMS. An academic who ended up becoming a bureaucrat, he had served in various capacities through his illustrious professional career in Bihar. All through his career he remained true to his core concern for people's empowerment and good governance.

A rare public spirited intellectual, Manoj Srivastav will be sorely missed. He was a great story teller, full of ideas and anecdotes, and a great well wisher of the CPI(ML) movement in Bihar. Our deepest condolences to his family and admirers.
