A Dua Mahfil was held on Thursday for the late Nadiha Ali, beloved second daughter of valiant Freedom Fighter and Unique Group Managing Director Mohd. Noor Ali and Chairperson Salina Ali, in remembrance on the occasion of her birthday.

Mohd. Noor Ali expressed his gratitude to everyone for attending the Dua Mahfil. He said, “Among my three daughters, Nadiha was second. She was very sociable. She always treated everyone well whether it was during her school, college or office days. Everyone was impressed by her. She had leadership qualities. She was also involved in many social activities.”
