إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

It is with profound sorrow and deep grief that we share the sad demise of Lt Gen Imranullah Khan (Retd), 5 FF, who passed away on 23rd Aug, 2026.

A proud Old Gallian, he joined Lawrence College in 1950. He was a founding member of OGAP and served as its First President.

His demise is a great loss to the Old Gallians fraternity. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family.

May Allah Almighty shower His infinite mercy upon the departed soul, forgive his shortcomings, and grant him eternal peace and the highest place in Jannat-ul-Firdous.

Ameen.

Remembering Our Sporting Legends

At Lawrence College Ghora Gali, achievements are never forgotten, and legends are always remembered.

On Sports Day, the College proudly acknowledged the remarkable sporting contributions of its distinguished Old Gallians who brought honour to Lawrence College through exceptional achievements at national and international levels and by setting memorable records during their time at the College.

As two of our revered sporting legends, Brigadier Zafar Hayat and Mr Farooq Meyer, were unable to attend the Sports Day (30th July 2026) due to health reasons, the College ensured that this tribute reached them personally.

On the special initiative of Principal Brigadier Jawad Ahmad Zaka, SI(M), Brigadier Zafar Hayat was presented with the College medal, certificate and souvenirs at his residence in Lahore by faculty members, while the Old Gallians fraternity was represented by Mr Faisal Niazi.

Similarly, Mr Farooq Meyer received the College's token of recognition in Sialkot through a member of the Lawrence College team, while the wider Old Gallian family was represented by his son, Mr Hassan Meyer, who is also an Old Gallian.

This gesture was more than the presentation of souvenirs. It was a heartfelt message from the Lawrence College family: we remember, we acknowledge, and we remain proud of those who carried the College's name to sporting glory.

Once a Gallian, always a part of the Lawrence legacy.
