The digital connectivity initiative aims to transform the capital into Pakistan’s first free Wi-Fi city

Islamabad: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled a plan to provide free Wi-Fi services across Islamabad, beginning with 30 prime locations in the first phase.

The initiative, aligned with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision and the directives of Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi, was finalized in a meeting chaired by Muhammad Ali Randhawa, Chairman and Chief Commissioner of Islamabad. Senior officials, including NTC Managing Director Major General (r) Ali Farhan, Member Finance Tahir Naeem, Member Planning Dr. Khalid Hafiz, and Member Engineering Syed Nafasat Raza, also participated.

Free Wi-Fi will be available at major commercial centers, Metro and Electric Feeder Bus stations, and popular parks, ensuring public accessibility. While NTC will operate and maintain the system, CDA’s technical team will provide ongoing support.

Randhawa emphasized the development of a self-sustaining operational and marketing model, where revenue generated will fund maintenance and upgrades. Officials noted that the initiative marks a step toward transforming Islamabad into a “free Wi-Fi city.”

The meeting also reviewed civic projects, including rainwater harvesting, removal of allergy-causing paper mulberry trees, and a large-scale tree plantation drive with third-party monitoring.
