Pakistan's military has reportedly approved a 25% salary increase for its personnel, with reports suggesting the move is intended to boost troop morale following the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. The pay hike is expected to benefit officers and soldiers across the armed forces as part of broader welfare measures.
