Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Wednesday that he was offering his residence in Rawalpindi, Lal Haveli, for educational purposes, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

Addressing a function held at the newly built multi-purpose hall of Government Associate College for Girls, Murree Road, Rawalpindi, Sheikh Rashid said that educational institutions in the city were not far from the female students’ homes, which made it easier for them to go there on their own without asking their parents or brothers to escort them.

Rasheed claimed that Rawalpindi was on top of the list of the country’s cities in terms of female education.
