KARACHI: Around eighty retired customs officers came together for a heartfelt Eid Milan get-together on Saturday evening. The event was hosted by the Ex-Officers of Customs Club at Al-Hirra Banquet, near Nursery.
The gathering brought together former colleagues in a warm, festive atmosphere. Notable attendees included Mr. Agha Shahid Majeed Khan, Ex-Member of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR); Mr. Muhammad Abbass, Ex-Deputy Collector of Customs; Mr. Muhammad Munir, Ex-Assistant Collector; and Mr. Muhammad Haris Khan, a former first-class cricketer and international cricket coach.
