RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Army senior commanders on Thursday visited the families of the martyred Customs officials at their home towns and expressed condolences, paid tribute and pledged unflinching support on behalf of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) stated in a press release.
Eight Customs officials had laid their lives in the line of duty in the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in two separate incidents in April 2024.
“In due recognition of this selfless sacrifice in the fight against illegal spectrum and as an expression of solidarity, Senior Army Commanders visited the martyrs’ families at their home towns to express condolences, pay tribute and pledge unflinching support on behalf of COAS,” ISPR reported.
The martyrs’ families expressed their gratitude to the Army for the support and respect.
“Shuhadas and Ghazis are our pride and their respect and honour is binding on each Pakistani. We must never forget that the peace and freedom we enjoy today are due to the ultimate sacrifices rendered by these brave sons of soil. We as a nation salute Shuhada families for sacrificing their loved ones for Pakistan,” ISPR resolved.
