Gallantry awards in Ongoing Pak army ops

[DavyJones]

Hi,
Wondered if Pak army is giving gallantry awards for operations in Swat and South Waziristan.
Medals like the Ashok Chakra, Shaurya Chakra (Distinct from Param Vir Chakra) are given in case of internal security ops carried out by the Indian Army. Case in point the Ashok Chakra given to 26/11 commandos Maj Unnikrishanan and also Ashok Chakras given to Para soldiers operating in J&K.

Does Pak have Ashok Chakra, Shaurya Chakra equivalents ? These two are basically same as Param Vir Chakra or Maha Vir Chakra which are war decorations, but are given for operations in peacetime.
By the way - great work in South Waziristan so far
