In Pakpattan, 1,200 students from the Government High School came together under the guidance of Deputy Commissioner Sadia Mehr to form a vast human flag spanning 9,600 square feet. This event marked a significant first in the Sahiwal Division’s history and was part of the Independence Day celebrations.
Chief Digital Monitoring Officer, Dr. Abdullah Tabassum, shared with APP that this was an unprecedented event for the division, demonstrating a strong sense of community and patriotism among the students. The celebration also saw participation from notable local politicians including MPA Chaudhry Javed Ahmed and MPA Motiya Masood Khalid, among others.
