The event under way at the Arts Council. White Star
KARACHI: The Arts Council of Pakistan Karachi on Thursday evening held an event to pay tribute to scholar Dr Shakeel-ur-Rehman Farooqui, who died of coronavirus on March 15.
Dr Farooqui was associate professor at the department of genetics, University of Karachi.
Shakil Khan was the moderator of the programme. He said Dr Farooqui loved the University of Karachi (KU). He was there until he breathed his last and is buried in the KU graveyard. In the latter part of his life, his fondness for literature, which may have been subdued because of teaching genetics for a long time, came to the fore.
