General Raheel Sharif offered Eid prayers in Wana and later visited Miramshah.

The army chief later visited an internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Bannu where he said the army will work for maximum relief and rehabilitation.
Further, he announced a Fata youth package which will induct 14,000 men from Fata in the army, and 1,000 people will be inducted in the first six months.
Gen Raheel also announced free education facilities for 1,500 children in Fata which will be provided in army schools and colleges.
PM visit
Prime Minister Nawaz inspected damage done by the recent floods and appreciated Punjab government’s efforts in dealing with the catastrophe. He also announced compensation for the damage caused by the floods.
“Every house that has been damaged will be compensated for,” he said, adding that measures would be taken to prevent such damage in the future, however that will cost a lot.
He reiterated that the government would work hard to make such projects possible and eradicate poverty from across the country.
Ahsan Iqbal accompanied the prime minister on his visit to the flood-hit region.

PM spends Eid with the flood affectees while Imran Khan is busy dancing at dharna and preaching hate. Shame on PTI
The 4 Stars suits and looks good on Gen. Raheel.
And where did Imran Khan spend his Eid day ? At Dharna.....What a joke ...
I still believe it's a better gesture even if it is fake one than to make fun of people's intelligence by slaughtering animals on D-chowk just to pamper your sky high ego.
Sorry, to clarify, that question was to Mr Sharif of Raiwind Palace.
Good photo session was it Mr Shariff???
Well done!!!
Forget the miscreants in D Chowk bad focus on real work .
Miscreants in D Chowk are imploding
PM go and have eid with troops....have some shame!
I sincerely hope this was a genuine camp which PM visited. On a separate note, it amazes me that all bold and tall promises of an Utopian land are always written in future tense. Future is bright, especially if you are a Gullu born in a Butt family.
