“Corona Pandemic is a drastic reality which has affected almost each of us by its grave loss and sufferings to our near and dear ones but through that shroud of pain and grief, Lahore has continued to be the resilient city that we have always been.”
Ghulam Mahmood Dogar was addressing the congregation of Juma prayer at Badshahi Mosque on Friday.

We seek full cooperation of citizens in adhering to the SoPs, so that we can save precious lives including those of our near and dear ones by taking preventive measures, Ghulam Mahmood Dogar said.
“Ensure vaccination, wear a mask, maintain social distance, wash hands with soap frequently and avoid crowded places” Commander Lahore Police urged.
