PESHAWAR:
In Peshawar, the dream of women to have their issues resolved through female representatives has turned sour as there is not even a single desk functional for women in the city’s six police stations.
As women’s police desks are inactive, female visitors have to wait outside the gates of the police stations for a long time.
During the tenure of former inspector general of police Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Nasir Khan Durrani, women’s desks were set up at the Sharqi, Gulberg, Hayatabad, Gulbahar, Faqirabad and Town police stations in Peshawar.
