The COAS lauded ASP Shehrbano for her selfless devotion to duty and professionalism in defusing a volatile situation.

The fearless officer extricated a woman from the difficult milieu of Ichhra Bazaar in Lahore on 26 February, 2024.

According to a statement issued by the ISPR in Rawalpindi, the COAS acknowledged the vital role Pakistani women are playing in all walks of life. Since independence, Pakistani women have distinguished themselves at home and abroad, by virtue of their talent, tenacity and commitment.

The COAS highlighted that the women are an invaluable part of Pakistan's society and their respect is enshrined in our religion as well as our social ethos.

The COAS also underscored the importance of social harmony and the need for nationwide consensus on curbing intolerance. He emphasized upon the rule of law and advised against taking the law in one's hands when legal avenues are available for addressing concerns and grievances.

Noting that arbitrary actions on the basis of heresy undermine the outlook of the society, the COAS underlined Islam's eternal message of kindness and benevolence.

The COAS appreciated the sacrifices rendered by the law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of the citizens of Pakistan.
