Dedicated journalist with amiable nature often go the extra mile to help those in need while had a knack for digging extraordinary details from even the most shrewd officials.
Editor GNS with utmost grief and sorrow recalling his great doings said,” Working under the most trying circumstances, he would often break exclusive stories. As in 2017, he worked for several weeks on a story that eventually led to the arrest of a Handwara resident in Maharashtra, who had been impersonating as an Army doctor and a NASA scientist, and had abandoned five women after marrying them besides extorting money from people.
He further added, “Moreover, there are several other such stories Tanveer broke but never got the credit for since he never gave much importance to bylines. Tanveer was instrumental in turning GNS into Jammu and Kashmir’s leading news agency with bare minimum resources at his disposal.”
Tanveer-ul-Ahad eventually breathed his last late in the night, his loss as human being is colossal and irreparable by every stretch of imagination. Mr Tanveer was born in Muqam Shahwali and spent his childhood there before arriving in Srinagar for a job.
