Peshawar
For the first time in the history of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa civil services, 12 females applied and qualified for examination for the posts of Patwari.
As per the vision of the PTI government and on the special directives of Chief Minister Mahmood Khan, 10 percent quota was allocated for women in the posts of Patwaris with a view to change the typical Patwar culture in the province.
Senior Member Board of Revenue Zafar Ali Shah told that it was very welcoming that the females applied and successfully qualified the written tests for the posts of Patwaris, adding the appointments of female Patwaris would help resolve issues and difficulties being faced by women in the matters of succession and transfer of assets.—APP
