“We as a team have been working tirelessly to control a global pandemic in our country as members of a team, led by the President,” the Army Commander underlined.

“Strategies and modalities proposed by this group resulted in effective patient management, contact tracing, quarantining as well as vaccination of our entire population,” he stated.

The Army Chief extended gratitude to the key members of the NOCPCO committee, the experts, doctors, commanders of the three armed forces, Police personnel and media.
