RAWALPINDI: The 73rd martyrdom anniversary of the first recipient of Nishan-e-Haider Captain Raja Muhammad Sarwar Shaheed was observed on Tuesday.
To pay tribute to the brave soldier, a wreath laying ceremony was held at his village Sanghori, Gujjar Khan. Major General Shahid Nazir laid a floral wreath and offered Fateha on behalf of Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa. Sarwar Shaheed, who demonstrated indomitable courage in defence of the motherland, embraced Shahadat at Tilpatra (Azad Kashmir) in 1948.
