Shehzad Roy isn’t new to national awards. He first received the Sitara-e-Imtiaz in 2005 for his humanitarian work and excellence in public service. For his organisation’s rehabilitation work after the 2005 Nothern Pakistan earthquake, he was awarded Sitara-e-Eissar (Star of Sacrifice) in 2006. This year he’s up for an honour again.
“I will be honoured with the Sitara-e-Imtiaz tomorrow in Islamabad,” Roy tweeted, acknowledging the honour. “I know of so many unsung heroes who may never be publicly recognised but they work every day to reform our society. I dedicate this award to their selfless dedication.”
