In late 2009, founders formally named “Karachi Astronomers Society” to our informal gathering of Astronomers from Karachi. The founders includes Mr. Khalid Marwat, Akbar Hussain, Muhammad Mehdi Hussain, Abubaker Shekhani (me), Abbas Jafri, Imran Rasheed, Zain Ahmed and Naveed Merchant. I assisted Mr. Khalid Marwat (Chairman) in creating the first-ever constitution of our society KAS.
In May 2010, after graduating from SZABIST, I transferred SZABIST Astronomy club to the new committee but it wasn’t taken care of well and it gradually disappeared.
