Kashmir gets its first Muslim woman pilot

Thirty-year-old Iram Habib has become the first Kashmiri Muslim woman to become a pilot. Habib will join a private airline next month.

In her pursuit, Iram even gave up her dream of achieving a doctorate in forestry to give wings to her childhood ambition.
