Islamabad: Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Friday launched the ‘ICT City’ mobile application to bring public facilities directly to the doorsteps of the city’s residents, a news source reported.
He has further stated that the utility would offer as many

for the citizens standing in long queues and trips to the government offices.
After a trial period of the application in Islamabad, the government would
expand it to other cities too, he added.

According to details, the application includes 43 public
services. These include emergency services, e-policing, passports, NIC,
domiciles, vehicle registration, arms licences, token tax payments, birth and
