KARACHI: The Institute of Historical and Social Research (IHSR) organised an evening of remembrance at the Zaki Hasan Auditorium at the Jinnah Medical and Dental College for several scholars who recently lost their lives to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Addressing the sombre gathering, Dr Syed Jaffar Ahmed said that everyone had read about pandemics in history but who had thought that they would also see one in their lifetime.
“It’s a national and international calamity. But making the most of the time spent working from home, IHSR’s researchers got the time to work on several reports about how Pakistan coped with the pandemic. We have 30 such reports ready along with books, too, penned by notable personalities such Zahida Hina and Anis Haroon,” he said.
