SARGODHA: First mosque for women will be inaugurated here on Thursday to enable women who want to offer prayers while shopping.

Situated on the Municipal Corporation premises, it has been funded by Anjuman-i-Shehryan and local traders.

Anjuman President Mian Muhammad Sarwar and General Secretary Sheikh Hassan Zafar said the mosque will help women offer prayers during shopping. They said it will stay clear from the tag of any school of thought.
