In his remarks, Maj Gen Aphour emphasised the importance of commanders prioritising the welfare of their soldiers by providing essential amenities. He thanked his team for their dedication, which enabled him to execute these projects, and expressed his gratitude to the Military High Command for the honour bestowed upon him.
