PESHAWAR/
KARACHI/
LAHORE:
In what appears to be another crack in the glass ceiling, the number of female officers in the police service across the country has increased despite issues pertaining to male dominance and general perception of the institution.
Around four dozen women police officers selected through the Central Superior Service are performing their duties on different positions across the country. Women police officers not only look after administrative affairs in the police force but also perform operational duties.
Islamabad: Manisha Rupita, a Hindu woman from Jacobabad District, Sindh Province, has become the country’s first Deputy Superintendent of Police.
Manisha, 26, a doctor of medical therapy from Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) Karachi and daughter of late Ballo Mal, a businessman of Jacobabad, first appeared in the country’s top civil service examinations, the Central Superior Services (CSS) exams.
Then she came to know that Sindh Public Service Commission (SPSC) was also going to hold combined competitive examination for the direct appointments of the Deputy Superintendent of Police and she decided to go for that.
It is the first time a girl from the Hindu community of Sindh has been selected after a competitive examination to a senior position in the provincial police department.
