Ufone 4G Comes to People’s Aid Amid Devastating KP Cloudbursts & Floods

Ufone 4G is stepping up to provide crucial support to communities devastated by the recent sudden cloudbursts and flash floods across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). This tragic event, a stark reminder of climate change’s escalating impacts, has claimed over 200 lives and left a trail of widespread destruction across public and private infrastructure.

Recognizing the urgent need for connectivity during search and rescue operations, Ufone 4G has provided free minutes to its users in the worst-hit districts of Bajaur, Buner, Battagram, and Batal (Mansehra). This vital service allows residents to connect with emergency services, mobilize local resources, and stay in touch with their loved ones during this critical time.

Experience has repeatedly shown that seamless communication is the bedrock of effective rescue and relief efforts. Ufone 4G’s commitment to providing free call services proved invaluable during the 2022 floods as well, playing a key role in enabling rescue teams to save lives, respond to medical emergencies, and deliver essential food and shelter to affected communities.

This initiative is a core part of PTCL Group’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. It underscores their commitment to enhancing national resilience against climate-induced disasters by ensuring uninterrupted communication remains available when it matters most.
