CHAKDARA: Two security guards who were martyred during the June 2020 attack on the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi were awarded Pakistan’s civil award “Tamgha-e-Shujaat” posthumously.
The relatives of the martyred guards, Khuda Yar and Iftikhar Wahid, received the awards from the President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi in Islamabad.
The President handed over the gallantry awards to the legal heirs of the security guards for their bravery as they had put up a strong resistance to the attackers before they were martyred.
Khuda Yar and Iftikhar Wahid, residents of Ouch village in Lower Dir district, embraced martyrdom when a group of terrorists armed with guns and grenades attacked the Pakistan Stock Exchange in the port city of Karachi last June.
