| First Cellular Service in Muzaffarabad |
ISLAMABAD: October 20, 2005 – Mobilink, Pakistan’s favourite cellular service provider became the first cellular company to start its operations in Muzaffarabad in Azad Kashmir, responding swiftly to the President of Pakistan’s decision to allow cellular companies to offer telecommunication services to earthquake affected people of northern Pakistan.
The company has already established its communication network in the affected areas of Azad Kashmir covering the city of Muzaffarabad. Mobilink has also set-up multiple free PCO’s in Muzaffarabad, Abbottabad and Balakot, in critical locations to ensure efficient and non-interrupted services for the affectees of the 8/10 disaster. Mobilink has already been providing cellular services in Abbottabad, Battagram, Mansehra, Ghazikot, Balakot, Shogran, Shinkiari Hospital and Kawai.
While announcing the launch of its service in Muzaffarabad, Zouhair A Khaliq, President & CEO of Mobilink said, “As the market leader of the industry, it was our national duty as responsible corporate citizens to respond to this calamity, and to establish communications in the affected areas. We activated our technical teams within the hour and our engineers have been camped in tents in the northern areas to do the necessary preparations for the last 3 days”.
“Mobilink is committed to provide its support to the government in its efforts to extend relief services to the affectees of NWFP and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.” He added.
To further help the people in maintaining contact with their near and dear ones, Mobilink has also reduced its airtime charges by 50% for all its prepaid customers in the affected areas i.e. anyone calling from Muzaffarabad and the designated cities of NWFP and Azad Kashmir will be charged half the airtime rates. Mobilink has also established sales centers in order to facilitate the local residents of that area in acquiring instant connections and handsets. The Muzaffarabad sales centers are established at Neelum Stadium and University Old Campus.
Mobilink was one of the first cellular companies to respond to the distress call when the news of the earthquake spread across Pakistan early last Saturday. The company‘s engineers reacted swiftly to set up a mobile cell site in F-10 and one at PIMS hospital, Islamabad, to cater to the high influx of calls generated immediately after the quake; its sales team also moved quickly to the PIMS hospital and was the first to start a Free Call & Facilitation Center (PCO) to help people who wanted to get in touch with their relatives and friends.
The company also mobilized its team throughout the country to set-up relief camps in all major cities and dispatched a convoy of relief vehicles, including Mobilink volunteers, to the northern areas to distribute relief goods, mobile sets and free connections to people in the affected areas. Mobilink continues to generate relief goods and has made special arrangements to acquire essential items like tents, blankets and medicines, including non-perishable food items and is in constant contact with relief agencies and authorities for the movement of these goods to the affected areas.
To date Mobilink contributions towards the earthquake-relief efforts have exceeded PKR 110 Million which includes support to aid agencies through donation of advertisement space, cash donations to the President Relief Fund and sums donations collected through the Mobilink family members spread across Pakistan.
