In the central ceremony, the President of Pakistan distributed civil honours to various personalities at the President’s House in Islamabad.

Governors from all four provinces also honoured distinguished personalities within their regions, including Chacha Noor Din, known for his craftsmanship in making Peshawari chappals.

In an earlier conversation, Chacha Noor Din revealed that the chappal, dubbed “Prisoner 804,” was specially made for former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
