We expect the size of the fund to increase substantially. This was an attack on Pakistan and we would ask all concerned organizations and individuals to step forward and join us. We are thankful to the Sindh government and Governor Sindh for the support and recognition they have extended to these brave security personnel.

The objective of the fund is to ensure that the families receive consistent financial support.

While PSX fully understands that monetary reward is no compensation for loss of life or serious injury it is committed to helping ease the suffering and contribute to alleviating the financial worries for families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
