KARACHI: While commemorating the feats of valour of the defence forces of Pakistan in the 1965 war, the Pakistan Army, Navy and Air Force pledged a new resolve to further enhance flood relief and rehabilitation efforts to the affected areas.

Still, the day began with the change of guards ceremony at the Mazar-i-Quaid by cadets of the Pakistan Air Force Asghar Khan Academy.

The Corps Commander Karachi, Lt General Mohammed Saeed, also visited the Mazar-i-Quaid to pay homage to the Father of the Nation and lay a floral wreath before penning his remarks in the visitors’ book.

He also visited the grave of Captain Taha Murtaza Hashmi (Shaheed) followed by his visiting the residence of Nk Amjad Ali Shah Bukhari (Shaheed).

The PAF emergency response teams have been working day and night to assist civil administration for swift rehabilitation of flood sufferers and Tuesday was no different for them. Sorties of PAF helicopter and transport fleet were being operated for transportation of relief goods and rescue missions for safe evacuation of people stranded in the flood.
