Author: Our Correspondent

ISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif on Monday attended the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Frontier Works Organisation at Thalian near the Islamabad toll plaza on the motorway. FWO has played a central role in spearheading the army’s contribution in all nation building efforts. Raheel Sharif said that over the years, FWO has developed into a strategic organization with tremendous capability to deliver projects of national significance.

In addition to numerous Hydel and mining projects, construction of KKH, Central Trade Corridor through Waziristan to Afghanistan, Coastal Highway and now over 1000 kilometres of CPEC Roads are some of their signature projects. Going into inaccessible areas to connect the remotest parts of the country with the mainland, the highest quality work in the least amount of time have been its hallmark. The COAS congratulated them on accomplishing the unthinkable and vowed for the whole army to continue working for security and prosperity of the country. The COAS paid tribute to 1300 officers and soldiers of FWO for laying down their lives during the execution of various national projects since their raising in 1966.
