The National Library Association (NLA) has condoled the sad demise of the highly venerated scholar and library scientist, Prof Dr Mumtaz Ali Anwar, who breathed his last in Lahore on July 7. He was buried at the Society Graveyard later the same evening while the Rasm-e-Qul was held the following day at his Abdalian Housing Society residence.
“On behalf of the NLA, I offer heartfelt condolence to the family of the late Professor Saheb. He was a wonderful person besides being an outstanding Library & Information Sciences scholar, teacher and researcher,” Syed Muzaffar Ali Shah, President, NLA, observed in a media release issued on July 8.
“All of us at the NLA are grieved to learn about his death. He had immortalized himself by founding the Department of Library and Information Sciences at the University of the Punjab, which has produced innumerable library scientists over the years,” the NLA President recognized.
“Prof Dr Mumtaz Ali Anwar was credited to have mentored a number of outstanding library professionals in his lifetime. He will live eternally in the hearts of the librarian community,” Muzaffar Ali Shah added.
Meanwhile the NLA has decided to hold a reference meeting to pay homage to Prof Dr Mumtaz Ali Anwar soon after Eid-ul-Azha holidays.
