The telecom company has announced free calls in Gwadar to facilitate connectivity among affected families and aid in the swift execution of rescue and relief operations.
Key Points:
- Nature of the Disaster: Gwadar is facing a large-scale natural disaster due to catastrophic rains and flash floods, leading to the inundation of significant parts of the city. Homes and livelihoods have been destroyed, rendering hundreds of families homeless. The fishing industry, a major source of livelihood for the local population, has suffered severe setbacks with boats wrecked and businesses decimated.
- Free Calls Initiative: As a responsible corporate citizen, Ufone 4G is providing free calls to the affected residents of Gwadar. The initiative aims to help families connect with their loved ones, alert authorities about their situation, and request urgent rescue and relief assistance.
- Communication Challenges: The extensive flooding in Gwadar has disrupted communication channels, making it difficult for people to recharge their mobile balance. The free minutes provided by Ufone 4G will alleviate this challenge, enabling affected users to make essential calls without incurring charges.
- Support Details: Ufone 4G users in the affected areas will receive 70 Ufone to Ufone and PTCL free minutes with a validity of 7 days. No call set-up charges will be applied to these free minutes.
