Srinagar, Dec 10: The 29th death anniversary of Ghulam Rasool Beigh, President of the All J&K Low Paid Government Employees Federation, Municipal Employees Association, and Municipal Pensioners Association — and one of the founding pillars of the State Trade Union movement — was held on Wednesday. “We remember a visionary whose life was dedicated to justice, dignity, and the welfare of employees across Jammu & Kashmir. His tireless commitment and unshakable courage remain an inspiring testament for generations,” said a statement.

“We also pay heartfelt homage to Madam Fatima Rasool Beigh, Chief Patron of the G.R. Beigh Memorial Foundation, on her 1st anniversary on December 14, 2025. A guiding force of compassion and grace, she upheld the legacy of service with unmatched sincerity,” it said.

On this solemn occasion, social and political organisations, NGOs, trade unions, and traders joined together to express deep affection and profound respect for Kh. Ghulam Rasool Beigh, reaffirming the timeless impact of his struggle and service.

A special tribute must be extended to the G.R. Beigh Memorial Foundation, under the leadership of Chairman Ishtiyaq Beigh, whose work is a continuation of this noble legacy. The Foundation has organised hundreds of medical camps, conducted blood donation drives and contributed 26 blood points so far, provided ration support to poor families on special occasions and extended one-time financial aid to orphan girls. It has also led Nasha Mukht Bharat Abhiyaan rallies and carried out remarkable barefoot awareness marches by the Chairman himself, it added.
