ISLAMABAD, (APP – UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 22nd Aug, 2026) Commissnor Dera Ghazi Khan Division, Muhammad Ishfaq Ahmad Choudhry is nominated for Tamgha-i-Imtiaz”, Pakistan’s prestigious state honor.
It represents recognition of public service, commitment, administrative responsibility and the willingness to remain devoted to duty.
The nomination is meaningful because civil awards are intended to recognize exceptional contributions in different fields of national life.
DG Khan Division has sensitive law-and-order environment owing to its proximity to provincial borders and the strategically important tri-border areas.
The Border Military Police, responsible for policing and maintaining law and order in the tribal and border areas, works under the command and supervision of the Commissioner. Managing the challenges of the tri-border region, including countering terrorist and other unlawful activities, therefore places an exceptional responsibility on the divisional administration and law-enforcement agencies.
The Division is also among the most flood-prone areas of Punjab. Five rivers flow through the region, with important confluence points, while the hill torrents originating from the Suleman Mountain Range can cause devastating flash floods whenever heavy rains occur. These geographical and security challenges require the divisional head of administration—the Commissioner—to be an experienced and capable officer possessing competence, commitment, dedication, sound judgment and an unwavering sense of responsibility. Such a demanding assignment requires readiness to work tirelessly and respond effectively to any situation, at any time.
Ishfaq Ahmad Chaudhary, as widely acknowledged by those who have worked with him, is exceptionally well suited to such demanding circumstances.
His competence, dedication, hard work and diverse administrative experience over the years equip him to effectively handle the multifaceted challenges of DG Khan Division.
