Pakistan Customs gave the honorary rank of assistant collector to weightlifter Nooh Butt on Tuesday.
FBR Member Customs Operations, Mukarram Jah, pinned the badges of Assistant Collector on Nooh’s uniform and pledged full support to the weightlifter at the upcoming Asian Games. “I’m honoured to be given this post by Pakistan Customs. It motivates me to train harder for future events,” said Butt while speaking to media. “I am hopeful about winning medal for Pakistan at the Asian Games and Olympics,” he added.
