All Women Market will be set up in Federal Capital

Federal Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid Ahmad announced that a special all women market would be set up in the federal capital by October 30.

The minister said the daughter of a poor ‘Rickshaw’ driver had got top position in competitive examinations due to his efforts for establishing women colleges in each part of Rawalpindi.

The decision to set up special market for women was made in June after interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed met a delegation from the Islamabad Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI) and acknowledged the necessity of including women in economic activity in the country.
