Staff Reporter :

QUETTA: Inspector General Frontier Corps (FC) North, Major General Muhammad Yousaf Majoka has said that educated women were the strength of the country. He expressed these views while speaking to Maria Shimon, the first Christian female Assistant Commissioner at FC’s headquarters on Friday.

Despite all odds, Maria Shimon, daughter of a driver has topped the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC) as an Assistant Commissioner. In a strictly-veiled society and poverty, Maria studied and succeeded in getting her first position as an AC in Balochistan in the recently held BPSC examination.

“FC would continue to support talented people in Balochistan”, Major General Yousaf Majoka said. He encouraged and appreciated the efforts of Maria’s parents in providing her an opportunity to study despite poverty.

FC Balochistan would extend all possible support to all youth of the province, he assured.
