She had joined this newspaper in the late 1980s after transfer from daily Star and edited the newspaper’s Friday magazine for several years.
After her transfer to Dawn’s Islamabad bureau in the early 1990s, she covered the Foreign Office for some time. Anjum Niaz was the daughter of Fida Hasan, who was the chief secretary of former West Pakistan during the 1960s.

Deeply saddened. One of the first people I got in touch with at Dawn, when I started writing for the newspaper. She was a great source of inspiration and encouragement. RIP

I could not believe it when I read this tragic news in today's DAWN. I knew her from her days as incharge DAWN Friday Magazine (weekly holiday used to be on Friday). I found her a thorough professional and a kind person. Her writings were full of life and were a treat to read.
For DAWN readers and all those who followed her brilliant journalistic work in other publications, this is indeed a huge loss.
Inna lillahe wa inna elehe rajeoon.
May her soul rest in peace. Ameen.

It was always a pleasure reading her articles. A large number of readers also know her because her articles were translated in Urdu news papers as well. I still cant believe she is no more. We'll miss her big time. may her soul rest in peace.

A very sad news! Feeling deeply grieved over Anjum’s demise. She was, beyond doubts, a great writer as well as a good human. A talented, well-read, and visionary soul with lots of analytical touch in her writings. A source of inspiration to thousands. May her soul rest in eternal peace!
