Ex-servicemen provide security to churches
 [Dawn] Shemon Masih on Sunday went to the Our Lady of Fatima Church in Sector F-8/4 and was surprised to see the enhanced security arrangements there.Along the officials of the church, four armed guards were checking every person entering the building. Soon, he came to know that the new guards were former armymen and had been deputed in the church by the Pakistain Ex-Servicemen Association (PESA). This is not the only church being guarded by the former army officials. In Islamabad, PESA also arranged security for the Catholic Cathedral and St. Thomas Church. In Rawalpindi, the association deployed security guards at the St. Joseph's Cathedral, Christ Church and St. John Church. PESA said it had also arranged bulletproof CIT (cash-in-transit) armoured vehicles to the churches for the security of their priests. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-01 |
