    I am proud on the forces of Punjab and especially i am proud of the Women’s role in active duty jobs such as in Elite commandoes Punjab who are proving in every manner that they are not less than anybody else…..but dont forget to lower your waist as it is good for fighting crime in an optimal manner.

    Why lady police wear hijab? It could easily distract them at a crucial moment in an operation. Also loose hijab could prove dangerous in driving esp. during turns and blind spot checks.

    @Ch Allah Daad: Chadary Sahib Hijab is their Personal Choice and we should respect their choice and I have worked in Office environments in Pakistan and Hijab is a good choice not because of religious reasons but to save their grace from the Heinous eyes of the Colleagues who stare at every women from head to toe in a manner like they are going to rape them. In Pakistan a working woman is stared by the public like they are a Public property and an item of lust rather than an ordinary being and so to protect yourself from such situations a reasonable dress is a good choice.
    Recently I saw one song and it is not related to this article and some people would call me a troll but that song explains some situations as well. . This is the same situation which our working women face daily in Pakistan.

    That won’t change corruption, they’ll still keep taking bribes and won’t let up on all their underhand tricks.

    Painfully ineffective policing aside, at least in these press shots I’m glad to see women taking an equal role as well.

    @Ch Allah Daad: & @Awans:
    In my 22 years job experience, I felt that in general woman who wear hijab of any kind are more confident and congenial than those who don’t. This is my personal experience and feeling

    Look at these lady-police-offices with double chins, none of them is less than 30 years old.
    Are young (early 20s), energetic and slim-body ladies not available.
    Change of uniform colour strongly recommended. Hijab wearing should purely be the choice of the lady police officer.

    @Awans:Hijab is no Problem as far as office work is concerned but for a commando i don’t feel its a comfortable outfit,which definitely restricts ones agility.

    at least change their shoes and give them proper shoes of international standard! wearing cheetah doesn’t mean you will become cheetah.

    Those participating in the training dont have enough belly fat and that is why they are participating. Those who have accumulated tons of belly fat are not able to even stand up from there seats
