Lahore Free WiFi Locations: Check Details Here

In a recent announcement, Punjab’s Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif unveiled a pilot project aimed at providing free WiFi access across 50 locations in Lahore. This initiative, spearheaded by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), signifies a strategic move to bolster connectivity and internet accessibility throughout the city.

The decision to reintroduce free WiFi services echoes a previous endeavor initiated by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government back in 2013. However, this service was discontinued during the tenure of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government due to unresolved financial obligations.

Taking charge of this initiative, the Punjab Information Technology Board has assumed responsibility for managing the service, which was formerly overseen by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). As part of the revival process, efforts are underway to modernize and enhance the existing infrastructure to ensure seamless connectivity and a reliable internet experience.

Chief Minister Sharif expressed her enthusiasm for this project on her social media account, stating, “Free WiFi started at the following (50 spots) in Lahore. The rest of Lahore is being done, too. Alhamdulillah! We promise, we deliver.”

The primary focus of this initiative is on key public areas such as educational institutions, airports, railway stations, and bus stands. Eventually, the scope of the service will expand to encompass a total of 516 locations across Lahore.

Individuals can easily access the free WiFi service by selecting the designated “CM Maryam Nawaz Free WiFi” option in the WiFi settings, enabling hassle-free internet access in these public spaces.

This initiative not only aligns with the government’s commitment to advancing technological infrastructure but also underscores its dedication to enhancing the quality of life for the people of Punjab by promoting digital inclusion and connectivity.
