ISLAMABAD, JAN 10: Snowstorm: Zong offers free calling in Murree, Galyat. In view of the emergency situation in Murree and Galyat region, CMPak (Zong 4G) of China Mobile Communication Corporation is offering 100 free Zong minutes with seamless connectivity to its users for three days.

Zong announced the offer a day after 22 people died in their vehicles due to heavy snowfall and traffic congestion in Murree. The snowfall has also disrupted life in the Galyat region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

“We are putting in all our efforts to help you stay connected to your families while in the crisis zone at Murree and Nathiagali,” Zong announced on Sunday evening.

Earlier in the day, Pakistan Telecommunication (PTA) announced that in emergency situations, mobile phone users in snow-affected areas with no balance have immediately been provided with free on-net calling facility.
