Karachi’s Benazir Bhutto Park to get Wi-Fi free

KARACHI: Karachi’s Benazir Bhutto Park is likely to get filled with hundreds of thousands of people as the Sindh government is planning to make it a ‘free Wi-Fi’ zone for visitors.

The provincial government has allocated Rs50 million in its 2017-18 budget to install the free Wi-Fi service at the park named after the former prime minister of Pakistan, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.

The development was announced by Special Assistant to Chief Minister Sindh during a meeting here on Tuesday.

He said that the service would be available soon and the move was part of the first phase to provide the latest technology free of charge to citizens.

He said in the next phase, the IT department would extend this facility to other parts of Karachi as well as across Sindh.
