Gen Kayani reviews parade

Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Friday visited Okara Garrison and reviewed the parade to mark the 250th Raising Day of 1st Punjab Regiment, the oldest unit of Pakistan Army. Speaking on the occasion, General Kayani appreciated the standard of parade and the dedication of all ranks involved.

He said that the Pakistan Army owed its high standing to professionalism, loyalty, discipline and patriotism of its officers and soldiers. He said that such high standards were not achieved overnight, unless all ranks of the Army were committed to maintain the traditions of excellence in service, said an ISPR press release issued here.
