The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet is expected to approve a major financial compensation package today for the martyrs and injured from both the armed forces and the civilian population affected by the recent India-Pakistan conflict.

Sources confirm that Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb has convened the ECC meeting for 5:00 p.m. today, though the official agenda has not yet been circulated among key ministries. However, high-level insiders suggest that the core focus will be the formal approval of the compensation package previously announced by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
While the Prime Minister has already declared financial support for the victims, legal validation of the package requires clearance through the ECC and subsequent approval by the Federal Cabinet.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), a total of 51 Pakistani nationals were martyred in the Indian aggression — including 11 personnel of the armed forces and 40 civilians, among them women and children.
Martyred Armed Forces Personnel: The ISPR also released the names and photographs of the martyred military personnel, which include:
Pakistan Army:
- Naik Abdul Rehman
- Lance Naik Dilawar Khan
- Lance Naik Ikramullah
- Naik Waqar Khalid
- Sepoy Muhammad Adeel Akbar
- Sepoy Nisar
Pakistan Air Force (PAF):
- Squadron Leader Usman Yousuf
- Chief Technician Aurangzeb
- Senior Technician Najeeb
- Corporal Technician Farooq
- Senior Technician Mubashir
Prime Minister Sharif has directed all Cabinet members to personally visit the families of the martyrs and injured as a gesture of solidarity and national gratitude.
In addition to the compensation package, today’s ECC session is also expected to review and approve proposals from various ministries, pending final vetting and inclusion on the agenda.
The recent India-Pakistan conflict, widely reported by independent international outlets as a strategic and diplomatic victory for Pakistan, has heightened the government’s urgency in recognizing the sacrifices made by both soldiers and civilians.
