Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has extended critical support to communities affected by the devastating floods in Punjab by enabling free calls to all networks and PTCL. This initiative is aimed at providing uninterrupted communication to families, rescue workers, and relief organizations as people struggle with the severe consequences of heavy rains and river overflows across the province. By removing the burden of call charges, Jazz is ensuring that affected residents have reliable means to reach loved ones and emergency services at a time when connectivity is most essential.

Flooding triggered by relentless rainfall has impacted multiple cities in Punjab, with Narowal, Kartarpur, Sialkot, Wazirabad, and Gujrat among the hardest hit. Homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods have suffered extensive damage, leaving many communities displaced and dependent on immediate assistance. In such situations, communication serves as a lifeline, enabling families to coordinate safety plans and seek urgent help. Jazz’s decision to offer free calling reflects its role as a responsible telecom operator that understands the importance of connectivity during national emergencies. The move is not only a relief measure but also a reassurance that those enduring the crisis will not be left isolated.

Earlier in August, Jazz had taken a similar step in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), where widespread flooding disrupted daily life and displaced thousands of families. The continuity of such measures shows the company’s commitment to being at the forefront of disaster response. Commenting on the recent floods in Punjab, Aamir Ibrahim, CEO Jazz, emphasized that the scale of disruption has been severe and that the company stands in solidarity with every household facing hardship. He added that connectivity is a fundamental tool for survival in disaster-hit regions, and by enabling free calls, Jazz is helping residents access emergency resources, reach out to relief teams, and stay connected with family members when uncertainty looms large.

In addition to emergency relief measures, Jazz has also been working closely with national institutions to strengthen disaster preparedness. Earlier this year, the company collaborated with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) to launch a mobile-enabled Early Warning System (EWS). This system has already delivered over 200 million advisories across Pakistan, including evacuation alerts to communities along the Chenab River. The current floods have underscored the importance of such preparedness initiatives, demonstrating how advanced communication technologies and timely alerts can minimize risks and safeguard lives. The integration of these preventive measures with Jazz’s on-ground support highlights a holistic approach to disaster management.

As Pakistan continues to face recurring climate-related challenges, the role of telecom operators becomes increasingly vital in ensuring resilience. Jazz’s actions show that beyond its position as a digital operator, it also carries a responsibility to serve as a partner to the nation in times of need. By combining its nationwide infrastructure, strong partnerships, and customer-first approach, Jazz continues to demonstrate how the telecom sector can contribute to relief and recovery efforts. While the immediate focus remains on supporting flood-affected communities in Punjab, the broader mission reflects a vision of long-term resilience, where technology and connectivity stand at the core of crisis management and disaster response in Pakistan.
