Sharista Beg of Hunza Makes history, joining PAF as Aviation Cadet

by Timur Baig

Sharista Beg has made us all proud by becoming the first female from Gilgit-Baltistan to join Pakistan Air Force, as an aviation cadet. She is the daughter of Col. Mehmud Beg, having roots in Baltit village of Hunza valley. She has started her training at the PAF academy, Risalpur. She is a cadet in the 126 GD(p) course and upon completion of her training would become a general duty pilot.

————————-

The entire team of Pamir News cordially congratulates Sharista Beg, her parents, her family and the entire Hunza Jammat on this outstanding achievement. We hope that young women and men from the mountain societies will take inspiration from this accomplishment of Sharista and . Chief Editor_.

Congratulation ,
Probably she is the first from our area to join the air force and hence deserves some accolade.

I don’t understand it but why joining the Forces is regarded so highly??

I am proud to say that Ms Shaista Baig has done a big acheivement in her life. History is that her mother is belongs to (Barcha family) Ganish and her parents have totally military background. Shaista’s mother 1st cusion Captain Sarfraz Ali Khan got Shahadat during free fall jump at Attock and awarded Tamga-e-Shujat & Sittara-e- Basalat. and her uncle Major Murtaza shaheed awarded Sitara-e-Jurat during 65 military war.

In relation Shaista is my newphew. I have also appeared in 103 & 105 GD (P) but was failure due to unknown reason. However, I would like congratulate her on her big acheivement. I wish further success in her career ambitions with these words that ” Join the galaxy of daring men and symbol of the pride for the Nation.
