@Amna: Nice to hear tht first women ASP is Awan, Proud to be Awan.
Wish u best of luck, Ms Awan. U have chosen a difficult path. Best of luck
It may be a positive sign in our society, but in a land where there is no law, it is a joke to appoint a female. I guess this is only a PR stunt and would fade away pretty soon.
Lets see for how long we will be able to see this pretty face in police.
Excellent newspaper...internationally affiliated. For, it's a social development in pakistan.
Proud to say that this is my cousin. :)
realy nice and wish u besh of luck
salam we will pray for her..........INSHALLAH she will be sucssfull in ur mission. Wish her a great future ahead
she is the symbol of level of compatibility of our women
btw what a PPP flag is doing behind her
Great!!!Wishing her a very bright future!!!
It's not the government that has made her ASP. She's gone through the tough journey of exams, interviews, and trainings. Wish her a great future ahead.
This is a very positive development and hopefully the ASP will do her best and set a great example.
It was a long awaiting demand of women police officers which were pending for decades.
Though the government took the decision very late, but with the first appointment of woman ASP, the recruitment should also be held in the entire Pakistan.
I hope that government will now take another couple of decades to appoint the second woman ASP somewhere in Pakistan and from there it should go on and on.
Excellent news. Its high time that Pakistani women are emancipated instead of being wasted on minor roles or being confined to the home. Who knows, if this trend continues, we might even get lady maulvis. Now that would really shake things up.
Hope for the best.
Male police officers have failed miserably as we have seen in Karachi. So, time to appoint females.
Nice development.
