“I hoped to be on a position one day so I could do something for the little girls. I got the opportunity when I was appointed a sub-inspector in Punjab Police after passing the competitive exams,” she said.
Fatima said that she was happy to be assigned the same duty which she had always wanted to do.
The female SHO was handed over the cases that were related to women and minor girls.
District Police Officer (DPO) Pakpattan Ibadat Nisar, who appointed Fatima, said that the appointment of female police officers in Pakpattan Police will help in dispensing justice to the people.
