“He (Shailendra Singh) was our source of inspiration and showed how to work selflessly for the party without ever holding any post in the organization despite being a senior member. He was brought by veteran leader BP Sinha into the trade union and could have taken any post in Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor Sangh and Indian National Trade Union Congress (INTUC). But in 57 years, he did not hanker for any post,” said former state secretary Jitendra Roy while paying tributes.
Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor Union (RCMS), Dhanbad District Volleyball Association (DDVA), and Dhanbad Brahmarshi Sabha held separate Shradhanjali Sabha and paid tribute to him.
Shailendra Singh was also the senior vice president of DDVA. Suraj Prakash Lal, secretary of DDVA, said he always encouraged the promotion of volleyball in the district and helped organize tournaments or send teams out of the district.
