While talking to a local newspaper, Rafia said:
"Women are playing a role in every field, including air force, army, police and administration. Then why not in the Bomb Disposal Unit."
Rafia is also extremely proud of the milestone she has achieved:
“I am not only representing women or the police force. I am representing the Pakistani nation. I never imagined that I was going to end up making history on such a scale."
Bomb disposal units have played a very important role in stopping terror attacks in KPK and we are more than glad that finally, a woman can contribute to this noble cause.
