While Punjab remains to be affected by the effects of heavy flooding, Pakistan’s top digital operator Jazz has come forward to assist relief-stricken communities by providing free calls to all networks and PTCL.

The life-saving initiative helps the people in flood-affected areas communicate with their families, rescue teams, and relief organizations without incurring call charges.

Cities Included in the Free Calling Initiative

The cities of Punjab affected by this relief include:

  • Narowal
  • Kartarpur
  • Gujrat
  • Sialkot
  • Wazirabad

All these areas have suffered extensive damage to houses, infrastructure, and livelihoods from incessant rains and flooding of rivers.

Urgent Relief for Connectivity

Through the waiver of call charges, Jazz is facilitating people to focus on safety, evacuation, and coordination, without the additional concern of communication expenses.

“Connectivity is a lifeline in such times,” said Aamir Ibrahim, CEO of Jazz.
“We stand with the people of Punjab and are committed to ensuring they can reach out for help and stay in touch with family during this crisis.”

Jazz’s Broader Commitment to Disaster Relief

Earlier this month, Jazz announced free calling for flood-hit areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), demonstrating a consistent, nationwide emergency response strategy.

Along with free calls, Jazz joined hands with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to conceptualize and implement a mobile-based Early Warning System (EWS). Through this system:

  • More than 200 million emergency alerts have been issued.
  • Evacuation warnings were distributed among communities along the Chenab River.
  • This project reflects Jazz’s efforts towards digital preparedness and disaster resilience.
