We are relocating our staff on immediate basis to make office space available for the affected IT companies, so to reduce disruption to their businesses.
Being an ICT services provider, IT business is very close to our heart and we will continue working with P@SHA to cater to the requirements of voice and data of all companies.”
Mr. Barkan Saeed, Chairman P@SHA thanked PTCL for its support and said “It is heartening to see PTCL playing its role as always to support IT companies at this time of need. We are particularly impressed by the efforts undertaken by PTCL and the speed at which the national carrier made
arrangements for the relocation of its personnel, providing the necessary facilities for us to help our member companies resume their businesses.”
