The Sindh Government in Pakistan has decided to allocate 9,000 acres of forest land to the army for martyred soldiers and injured war veterans.
According to The Express Tribune, the decision was taken by Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah at the CM House on Friday.
Shah said that the army had asked the Sindh Government for allotment of 35,521 acres land in Garhi Yasin, Shikarpur, in 2001.
Pakistan's Forest Minister Gianchand Israni said the land in question was located in the Golo Daro area of Garhi Yasin.
Shah approved the allotment of the land to Pakistan Army and directed the chief secretary to move the summary for approval.
