Other allowances have also been approved, which will be included in your next salary.
Similarly, Islamabad Capital Police had been facing a shortage of manpower, which has been addressed by recruiting over 1,700 new police personnel, including 208 female police officers.
Now that you have been called role models, you should serve your nation and country through your training and exemplary performance, he added.
