Assistant Commissioner Faisal Ismail, who was martyred in the recent terrorist attack in Bajaur, hailed from Odigram in Swat.
A highly respected and dutiful officer, he was a source of immense pride for his village.
Faisal Ismail was an engineering graduate from the prestigious NUST University in Islamabad. After excelling in the civil service examinations, he rose to a prominent administrative position.
He came from a distinguished family—his father was a well-known educationist, and his elder brother, Colonel Fahad Ismail, serves in the Pakistan Army.
Locals and social media users remember him as a compassionate, honest, and people-centric officer whose absence will be deeply felt.
Through his martyrdom, Faisal not only upheld the ideals of national service but also set a powerful example of courage and sacrifice for the people of Swat and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at large.
Citizens of Odigram and across the region have expressed profound grief over his loss, paying heartfelt tributes to his noble character and service.
