LAHORE: Aiming for a 50-50 ratio of men and women in the police force, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif caused quite a stir on Thursday when she arrived at a passing-out ceremony for women constables and traffic assistants decked out in a Punjab police uniform.
Addressing the graduating class at Police Training College Chung, the chief minister said she envisioned a time when women would constitute half the police force, adding that she had directed the Punjab inspector general to increase the number of women police officers, who currently number around 7,000.
