He played his role effectively in ensuring peace in the militancy-hit areas. He actively took part in a number of operations in Darra, Khyber and Orakzai.
*** In December 2010, Pak Army thrust deep into militant strongholds in Orakzai Agency and established several posts to consolidate the gains. Lt. Sajjad volunteered to command one such strategic post in the Chappari Feroze Khel area on the junction of Orakzai, Khyber and Darra Adam Khel.
