The general officer commanding of IX division of army distributed cash compensation and gift packs among the 64 victims of Police Colony car bomb blast here on Tuesday.
Speaking at a ceremony, GOC Maj-Gen Rizwan Akhtar said that it was the collective responsibility of law-enforcement agencies and people to bring the war against terrorism to its logical end.
He said, “The government and law-enforcement agencies are fighting a war against a common enemy who had no religion and principles and after facing successive defeats in Swat, Malakand and other areas the cowards have now started targeting women and children.”
The GOC expressed his grief over the loss of precious lives in the car bomb attack at the Police Colony in Kohat and assured the survivors that the security forces and the government was standing with them in these difficult times.
He rejected the impression that the blast was the result of a security lapse by police because they were at the forefront in the war and bearing the major brunt.
On this occasion, Kohat region DIG police Muhammad Masood Afridi said that they would maintain the writ of the government at any cost.
The GOC gave Rs100,000 each to 21 heirs of the victims who lost their lives in the tragic incident. He also gave gift packs to 43 policemen whose quarters were destroyed in the terrorist attack.
