Islamabad, Lahore police pay tribute to martyrs at Marka-e-Haq commemorations

Islamabad Police on Saturday organized a series of events to commemorate the “Marka-e-Haq, Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos,” with Inspector General (IG) Islamabad Police Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi leading tributes to Pakistan’s armed forces and accentuating national unity, sacrifice, and patriotism.

Speaking during the commemorative ceremonies, IG Rizvi said the success of Pakistan’s armed forces in the Battle of Haq had become a symbol of national pride and resilience.

“We are the Bunyan-um-Marsoos, our life and death is for Pakistan and unity,” he said, adding that the country’s forces had “raised the head of the entire nation with pride.”

The Islamabad police chief described Bunyan-um-Marsoos as more than a military operation, calling it “an ideology and a way of life” that reflects the spirit of unity and sacrifice among Pakistanis.

“If the enemy looks at Pakistan with malicious intent, the nation will emerge even stronger,” Rizvi stated. He praised the armed forces for demonstrating their capabilities during the conflict and credited the military leadership for what he described as a historic success.

“Pakistan forces showed the world the iron of their capabilities in the Battle of Haq,” he said. “Under the leadership of the Field Marshal, Pakistan achieved historic success.”

The ceremonies included tributes to martyrs, patriotic displays, and messages of solidarity with the armed forces. Senior police officials and personnel also participated in the events, reaffirming support for national security institutions and honoring those who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Meanwhile, in Lahore, Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Syed Abdul Rahim Shirazi visited several major locations across the city to review traffic management arrangements for Battle of Haq-related events and gatherings.

The CTO inspected security and traffic operations at Wagah Border, Faisal Chowk on Mall Road, Azadi Flyover, and Greater Iqbal Park. According to officials, extensive traffic deployment was made across Lahore to ensure smooth movement during the commemorations.

Police said 13 Deputy Inspectors of Police (D-ISPs), 70 sector in-charges, and more than 500 traffic wardens were deployed under the supervision of divisional officers throughout the city.

 “Citizens will not face traffic difficulties anywhere in the city,” Shirazi said, assuring the public that all necessary arrangements had been put in place to facilitate commuters and maintain order during the events.
