Punjabi literature has suffered a major setback with the demise of renowned Punjabi writer and poet Sultana Begum who died at a private hospital in Mohali on Saturday after a brief illness.

Punjab Higher Education Minister Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer expressed grief at the demise and said this was an irreparable loss to the Punjabi literature.
Her autobiography “Katra Katra Zindagi” was a well read and critically acclaimed book. Her unique style of writing was well expressed in her Punjabi book 'Shugufe', which became very popular.
