Corps Commander Gujranwala, Lieutenant General Waseem Ahmed Ashraf on Wednesday witnessed a bridging exercise near Sialkot and saw engineer troops engaged in laying various categories of bridges.

While informally addressing officers and men taking part in the exercise Lieutenant General Waseem Ahmed Ashraf said that "Sappers" have an extremely significant role to play in war as well as in peace throughout the year, hence they must attain optimum proficiency in achieving their assigned task.
The only way to achieve mastery in their field is through professionalism, dedication, hard work and mission-oriented training, he added. He appreciated the proficiency of troops and their training standards and urged them to utilise this opportunity to the maximum.
