RAWALPINDI: Chief of the Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that the sacrifices of the country’s martyrs will not go waste, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said Tuesday.

According to the military’s media wing, the army chief said this while conferring military awards to army personnel for their acts of gallantry during operations and meritorious services rendered to the nation during a ceremony held at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.

As many as 47 officers were awarded Sitara-i-Imtiaz (Military), while six officers, seven Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) and 12 soldiers were awarded the Tamgha-i-Basalat. Medals of Shuhada were received by their family members, said the ISPR.

He said that there is no cause more noble than laying ones life for the defence of one’s motherland and that sacrifices of the country’s martyrs will not go in vain.
