Army chief offers Eid prayers with troops in North Waziristan

Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif offered Eid prayers in North Waziristan as he interacted with army troops taking part in the continuing military offensive against militants in the tribal belt, Operation Zarb-e-Azb.

The army chief’s visit comes just days after he sent special gifts for families of students killed in December 2014 attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar and to the temporary displaced persons (TDPs).

“Our nation and valiant army have paid a huge price for eliminating terrorists and restoring peace in country and we will not let these sacrifices go to waste,” said the ISPR.
