Tanveer Baig: A distinguished career cut short by Karachi heatwave

KARACHI–Tragedy struck the journalistic community as veteran crime reporter Tanveer Baig succumbed to heatstroke, one of seven fatalities attributed to the extreme weather conditions that have swept Karachi over the past week. Baig experienced a heatstroke on Tuesday afternoon and was unable to recover from the severe symptoms.

Tanveer Baig's illustrious career spanned over 40 years at Nawa-i-Waqt, where he was renowned for his in-depth crime reporting. He also contributed significantly to Hurriyat, leaving a lasting impact on Pakistan's journalistic landscape.

The heatwave's impact on the city has been profound. As of June 27, Sindh's health department reported that 212 patients were treated for heatstroke, with 205 recovering and seven succumbing to the relentless heat.
