Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Asim Munir visited the Qurban Lines in Lahore today where he paid homage to martyrs of police and “appreciated the professionalism and restraint exercised by them during the riots/ vandalism”, a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) says.

The ISPR said the COAS assured that law enforcement agencies had the army’s full support for their capacity enhancement, intelligence sharing and training.
