Service to humanity is the foundation of a peaceful and stable society,” they remarked.
Residents of the area and members of civil society widely appreciated the initiative, terming it a commendable example of civic responsibility. Citizens noted that the Ismaili community’s proactive approach, carried out without publicity or government funding, sets a positive precedent for other social organizations and future generations.
