Major General Abid Mazhar, Additional Secretary of the Ministry of Interior and Narcotics Control, attended the ceremony as the chief guest, the report said.
He congratulated the recruits on completing their training and wished them success in their future duties.
The newly trained personnel will help protect Pakistan’s borders and maintain national security, according to the report. They will perform their duties in difficult mountainous areas and harsh weather conditions.
The passing-out parade marked the formal end of the recruits’ basic training and the start of their service with the force. The 24 weeks of training at Minawar Garrison prepared the 432 recruits for the duties they will now take up, and the parade brought the 18th batch of the Gilgit-Baltistan Scouts together in front of the chief guest and other officers at the ceremony.
Gilgit-Baltistan’s mountainous terrain and severe weather place particular demands on the personnel who serve there, and the report said the new recruits will be posted to duties in those conditions. Their work, according to the report, will include protecting the country’s borders and helping to maintain national security in the region.
The ceremony was the 18th passing-out parade of the force, and the 432 recruits who took part in it completed the same course of basic military training at the garrison in Gilgit. The chief guest’s congratulations, as reported, recognised the completion of that training and the responsibilities the recruits will now carry in their service.
For the 432 recruits, the parade was the point at which months of training turned into active service, and the training they completed at Minawar Garrison was the preparation for the duties ahead of them in the mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan.
The report gave no further details of the parade or of where the new recruits will be posted. It said only that they had completed their training, taken part in the passing-out parade, and will serve in the mountainous areas of Gilgit-Baltistan.
