Was fortunate to have worked with Syed Ashfaq Peeran during my stint with MCF in the 1970’s . Even at that time he was always on a higher plane as compared to his peers and even those who were his seniors. Despite power and position Ashfaq was a down to earth person and ready to help individuals/Society and resolve issues ASAP.
