Bilquis Edhi who passed away on Friday, April 15 evening was laid to rest in Karachi’s Mewa Shah graveyard on Saturday.
It is pertinent to mention here that Edhi played a key role in the repatriation of Geeta in 2015.
I don't think any amount of words are enough to thank the Edhi family for taking care of Geeta. They are apostles of kindness & compassion.

Geeta was found on a train when she was around 11-12 years old, that had crossed the border from India into the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore.
She Geeta remained in Pakistan under the care of the Edhi Foundation in Karachi for more than a decade, the country’s largest welfare organization.
Her family said she went missing in 1999-2000.
