CPI (M) Andaman & Nicobar State Organising Committee expresses deep grief at the passing away of Comrade Lawrence Fernandez, former President of the Non-Gazetted Government Officers’ Association, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, at a hospital at Kochi, Kerala on 28th July, 2023. He was 74 years. 

Com.Fernandez, a retired Headmaster of Education Department, Andaman & Nicobar Islands was a committed leader and was in the forefront of various movements of government employees.  He had to face the wrath of the ruling parties and the Education Department for organizing government employees and conducting agitations wherever he was posted while in service.

He was a Member of CPI (M) rural South Andaman Area Committee at the time of leaving the islands for mainland.  CPI (M) remembers his invaluable contribution in organizing the people under the banner of the party.  He left behind his two daughters.   

CPI (M) pays rich homage to his memory and conveys its deepest condolences to the bereaved family members.
