Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday praised the effort of a brave policeman for saving a man who fell dangerously close on the platform as a train passes through a railway station.
PM Khan took to Twitter and wrote, “This is where duty becomes sacred. Admiration for the commitment of the young policeman to serve the people.”
In another tweet, PM Khan announced that Constable Jamal Kalhoro will be honoured on Pakistan Day March 23 for his dedication to duty.
In June, PM Imran heaped praise on a head constable of Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) Qaiser Shakeel, who returned to work only two days after an on-duty injury, resulting in a fracture to his arm.
“Such actions uplift the image of the police when one man decides to serve the people with dedication, and that is why I especially called you to the PM Office,” the premier said as he spoke to Shakeel.
A former police official died earlier this month while trying to save a child from being crushed by a train in Lahore.
According to details shared by Superintendent of Police (SP) City Lahore Hassan Jahangir, the former sub-inspector Siddique, who retired from service last year, lost his life at a railway track while saving a child.
“The child was playing at a railway crossing and was about to be hit by a train when Siddique rescued him and in the entire process lost his life after being crushed by the train,” the police official said.
