Gen Munir commended the formation’s role in recent operations, notably Marqa-e-Haq and Operation Bunyaanum Marsoos, and paid tribute to the martyrs and Ghazis.

“You have befittingly avenged the loss of innocent lives, including women and children, through your bold and effective response,” he remarked.

He stressed the need for resolving the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people and UN Security Council resolutions.

The COAS was received at the LoC by the Commander of Rawalpindi Corps upon arrival.
