Dr. Hajra Niaz and her husband Huzaifa Mughal achieved their dream of joining civil services together as the duo shared the news on social media. Huzaifa Mughal is looking to join the Police Service of Pakistan and Dr. Hajra will be appointed in Inland Revenue Services.

Dr. Hajra recounted her journey when Huzaifa proposed during her second year of MBBS. She mentioned that Huzaifa assured her they would achieve their dreams together.

After clearing the tricky exam on first go, the couple received an overwhelming response on their social media handles. The duo also appeared in different TV shows, inspiring generations.
