Some soldiers are remembered for one great battle. Others are remembered for the life they lived every day. Havaldar Raja Chan Waiz Turk Shaheed belonged to the second kind. On 26 December 2019, he embraced martyrdom at Buttal Sector, Hajira, on the Line of Control, while facing the Indian Army. He gave his life for the country he had loved since childhood.
His story begins in Shahid Gali, Muzaffarabad, where he was born on 5 March 1983. From his earliest years, he dreamed of joining the Pakistan Army. That dream never left him. In 2003, he finally wore the uniform, and he rose through the ranks to Havaldar. His journey therefore shows what steady devotion can build, one honest day at a time.
Raja Chan Waiz Turk Shaheed and His Service on the Line of Control
