Acknowledging Mr Razzaq’s courageous efforts, Mr Nisar said: “Such officials are the source of pride to the police force and serve as a role model for them.”
He said no medal or financial assistance could repay a life lost in the name of the country, but the nation was bound to acknowledge sacrifices rendered by its valiant personnel.
