Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today condoled the death of veteran journalist Ghulam Muhammad Mustafa, who passed away at a hospital in Gurgaon yesterday.
In his condolence message, Kumar described Mustafa as a person "devoted to his duties" and prayed for succour to his bereaved family members and friends.
A retired Indian Information Service officer of the 1969 batch, Mustafa began his career in New Delhi with the Press Information Bureau.
He came to Patna as an Additional Information Director at PIB and later served as a News Editor at All India Radio and Doordarshan here.
Mustafa retired from service in 2005. The 73-year-old journalist is survived by wife and a daughter.
He was given a burial at his native village Motgha in Darbhanga district where his mortal remains were brought from Gurgaon.
