Karachiites now have access to free WiFi at popular public spots, thanks to a new initiative launched by Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab. The project aims to improve digital connectivity and provide residents with easy internet access while they enjoy outdoor spaces.
The free WiFi service has been introduced at six major locations across the city:
- Frere Hall – A historical landmark and a popular recreational spot for families.
- Bagh Ibn-e-Qasim – One of Karachi’s largest parks, attracting visitors for picnics and leisure.
- Kidney Hill Park – Known for its scenic views and walking tracks.
- Hill Park – A favorite destination for families, offering greenery and amusement facilities.
- Safari Park – A wildlife park where visitors can now stay connected online.
- Lake Park – A peaceful retreat for nature lovers.
According to the mayor, the initiative is part of Karachi’s efforts to promote digital inclusion and make technology accessible to everyone. Free WiFi will benefit students, professionals, and families who visit these parks, allowing them to browse the internet, stay updated, and even work remotely.
The citizens of Karachi have welcomed this development, appreciating the government’s efforts to enhance public facilities. Many believe that such initiatives can help improve the city’s image and encourage more people to visit public spaces.
Authorities have assured that security measures are in place to prevent misuse of the free WiFi service. The project is expected to expand to more locations in the future, further boosting digital connectivity in the city.
