Pakistan Army Soldier Martyred in Landslide Tragedy

On Saturday, a tragic incident occurred on the Karakoram Highway (KKH) in Chilas, resulting in the martyrdom of a brave soldier of the Pakistan Army and injuries to two others. The soldiers were engaged in clearing a landslide that had blocked the KKH near Gonar Farm Chilas on April 04, disrupting all traffic along the vital route.

The Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) reported that a detachment of the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO), led by Naib Subedar Khalid and two soldiers, promptly responded to the situation to restore traffic and assist stranded individuals. However, during the clearance operation, another landslide occurred, causing critical injuries to the detachment.

Tragically, Naib Subedar Khalid succumbed to his injuries and attained the status of 'shahadat,' while Sepoy Waseem and Lance Naik Azmat are currently recuperating from severe injuries. The ISPR expressed gratitude for the soldiers' dedication and service in aiding the people, emphasizing the unwavering commitment of the Pakistan Army to serve the nation in the face of all challenges.

The sacrifice of Naib Subedar Khalid and the bravery displayed by Sepoy Waseem and Lance Naik Azmat serve as a poignant reminder of the selfless dedication of Pakistan Army personnel in safeguarding the nation's interests and assisting citizens in times of need. The incident underscores the challenges faced by those serving in hazardous conditions and highlights the importance of their contributions to maintaining essential infrastructure for the well-being of the populace.
