Mobilink torchbearers provide relief to victims of heat wave

Karachi: Mobilink Foundation took the initiative to assist the local government in providing relief to the victims of severe heat wave which scoured Karachi and its neighboring localities this past week. Mobilink’s heat wave relief activity came to a completion with the planned distribution of relief by its Mobilink Torchbearers team at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital - Karachi, Qatar Hospital - Karachi, Shah Bhitai Hospital - Hyderabad and Civil Hospital- Hyderabad.
Speaking after the completion of the activity, Farooq Niaz, Senior Manager Corporate Communications, PR and CSR – Mobilink stated, “Our Mobilink Torchbearers assisted more than 3300 people throughout Karachi and Hyderabad in the last week of June, most of them heat stroke victims without adequate medical facilities and supplies due to overcrowding in all hospitals.”
Explaining the Telco’s aim to support local communities in times of need, he added, “We, at Mobilink, consider ourselves to be a valued part of the local community and constantly strive to assist in its rehabilitation whenever need arises. In this regard, Mobilink Torchbearers will continue their volunteer work throughout the month of Ramadan as a means to support and positively impact the communities that we operate in.”**
