In his condolence message, Vohra said, “Prof Bambah had a truly glorious innings as an internationally renowned mathematician, who was honoured with the Padma Bhushan, besides having received the highest academic recognitions and numerous awards both in India and abroad.

“I had the good fortune of getting to know Prof Sahib after I joined as a junior lecturer in English in 1957. Years later, in 2001, I joined the Tribune Trust and had the privilege of sitting beside him during the meetings of the Trust, which he served for a decade and a half until 2010, when he voluntarily stepped down.

“I convey my sincere condolences to Prof Bambah's daughters and pray to the Almighty to grant eternal peace to the departed soul.”
