Now women can not enter in govt buildings without a 'Dupatta'
Punjab Civil Secretariat in Pakistan won't permit ladies inside an government building without a dupatta or headscarf, as per minister orders.
The request was issued by the Primary and Secondary Healthcare Minister of Punjab Dr Yasmin Rashid.
