Renowned poet and broadcaster, Farooq Nazki, passed away at 83, leaving a void in Kashmir's literary community. His daughter shared a poignant moment on Facebook, capturing his lack of fear for death but concern for dependents. A Sahitya Akademi awardee, Nazki began as a poet in 1967 and contributed significantly to popular radio dramas like "Zoon Daeb." He served as Director of All India Radio's Srinagar station and, post-retirement, held key roles in media advisory. His literary contributions in Kashmiri and Urdu, including translations of Urdu Ghazals, earned him national recognition, marking his passing as a substantial loss in Kashmir's literary world.
