ISLAMABAD: ‘Ma'arka-e-Chuprial'- a story about group combat of soldiers from 12 NLI during Operation Rah-e-Raast will be aired this Friday PTV Home.

Ma'arka-e-Chuprial is the fourth drama of `Faseel-e-Jaan Se Aaagay', a drama series produced by ISPR in collaboration with Communications Research Strategies as a humble endeavour to pay homage to the courageous people of Pakistan and its armed forces whose resilience and sacrifices have turned the tide of extremism and militancy in most of the troubled areas of Pakistan.
