ISLAMABAD: Officers and personnel of FC would get salaries at par with officers and personnel of Pakistan Army, as announced by Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif in his Thursday’s address during a visit to the Pak-Afghan border at Parachinar.

The good news coincided with the joyous occasion of Eidul Azha. The difference in the salaries of security forces was now removed with the announcement of the prime minister, the PM Office Media Wing said in a press release on Friday. “The PM takes the decision to acknowledge the FC’s contributions and sacrifices for the motherland and the nation,” it was added.
