However, she emphasized that the government will come to know about such incidents only when they are reported, as Punjab has a population of 110 million hence it is impossible for the provincial government to know about every harassment incident.

“I to appeal all children that god forbid if you go through something like this then you need to point it out as currently there are a lot of harassment laws under which the culprits can be punished,” Cheema said. She added that whatever decision the committee takes will be shared with the nation.
