The scars remain unhealed, grief unassuaged, pain unabated, void unfulfilled and it will continue to remain so for years and more!
It was May 10,2020 when the unbelievable happened, a shock which rendered all of us in a state of excruciating agony and will take ages to come out of it. Tanveer Ul Ahad, our beloved founder of the GNS and Kashmir Glory during the blessed month of Ramadan previous year lost to his deteriorating health and left for the heavenly abode leaving the people across the media fraternity and beyond shell shocked. The vacuum his demise has created since he left us is impossible to be filled with, and his absence snatched away the “X Factor” from our lives. A young, energetic, dynamic and someone with charismatic traits of leadership, he was more of a social servant and a humanitarian than a journalist whose hard work, dedication and work ethos made it possible to take GNS to the heights. GNS ranks among the top rated news agencies of Kashmir, which finds it’s core competence in indicators like Credibility and Social Responsibility. The reason GNS never ceases to remain ahead of the pack is the outcome of his blood, sweat and tears. All his life, those in his acquaintance or not, he would spend most of his time helping people by any means whatsoever. Blessed with the helping hand to ask for, a reliable shoulder to rest on and a kind heart to talk to, the late founder was a cornucopia of high quality traits who lived, cared and worked for the social good of a common man. The dream his eyes would see everyday to give wings to the field of unbiased and socially responsible journalism and see GNS progressing by leaps and bounds never allowed him to rest on his laurels and saw him always walking the extra mile. A leader in making, he was the gem of a heart, who would always speak in the compassionate tone displaying ruth and kindliness. His untimely death took everyone aback and Almighty’s decision to take him back too soon left behind the unfulfilled legacy- a flower dyed before it fully bloomed. “Verily we belong to God and verily to Him do we return.”
