Under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s leadership, Lahore is undergoing a digital transformation by introducing complimentary internet services at 50 locations, marking the city’s transition into a WiFi hotspot.

CM Maryam’s announcement on social media underscores the government’s dedication to bridging the digital gap, with a commitment to extending the initiative citywide in Lahore. She assured me, “We promise, we deliver.”

The Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has been assigned the responsibility of modernizing the current infrastructure, including hotspots. This initiative aims to improve internet accessibility in vital areas by fostering connectivity and optimizing communication channels.

CM Maryam approved the project during a recent high-level meeting with PITB officials, emphasizing the rollout of free WiFi services in educational institutions, airports, railway stations, and bus stands. The initiative will extend to 516 locations throughout Lahore.
