LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz attended a lady police passing out parade in Lahore, wearing a police uniform on Thursday.

Chief guest CM Maryam Nawaz was accompanied by Inspector General of Usman Anwar as she inspected the passing out parade of Lady Recruit Course No.16 and Lady Traffic Assistant Course No.2 at Police Training College in Lahore.

CM Punjab was given a guard of honor and also distributed prizes among the top performers from the Police Training College.

In her speech, Maryam Nawaz talked about her personal experience and how donning a police uniform helped her understand how much responsibility this entails.

“In the past, whenever I attended such gatherings, I would notice that women police officers were shouldering heavy weapons, while their male counterparts held higher positions. It used to bring me joy to witness their presence. I told the Inspector General of Punjab that the number of female officers, currently at 7,000, is quite low and should be increased. Women are superheroes; we are not only mothers and daughters but also capable of fulfilling our responsibilities with utmost dedication and hard work.”

She went on, “I’d like to greet every one of you, and I’m very happy that a female police officer has received the first-ever ‘Award of Honor.'” You all have my admiration. I had been looking forward to this ceremony ever since I took the oath of office as Chief Minister.
