Islamabad – : In a significant move hailed as a landmark achievement, the federal government has approved a 233 percent increase in the compensation package for martyrs of Pakistan’s civil armed forces. The decision, credited to Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, was announced on Tuesday.

The updated package applies to all personnel of Pakistan’s civil armed forces, including:

• Punjab Rangers

• Sindh Rangers

• Frontier Corps North and South Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

• Frontier Corps North and South Balochistan
