The facility inside the building\u00a0 includes a nursing corner and feeding room.

At first, she left her son with a staff member in another room. However, her son was getting a bit cranky, so she brought him into the assembly session. The secretary of the assembly said children aren\u2019t allowed in the session, so she eventually had to leave. Afterwards, Sheran highlighted the need for gender friendly workplaces in Pakistan, and asked for a daycare center numerous times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"><strong>MARKET RECAP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>The benchmark KSE-100 index closed at\u00a0<strong>39,849.96\u00a0<\/strong>after rising\u00a0<strong>+1.85%<\/strong>\u00a0as of October 7,\u00a02020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[dkpdf-button]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today\u2019s top Pakistan current affairs October 08,2020 with download link available in pdf.
