Zong Pakistan: Independence Day celebrations

Zong celebrated Pakistan’s 70th Independence day in an entirely unique manner. This Independence Day, Zong 4G’s ‘New Hope’ volunteers paid homage to the greatest hero of Pakistan’s Independence, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, by creating a virtual tour of his birth place, Wazir Mansion, Karachi.

History of Wazir Mansion: Wazir Mansion, known officially as “Quaid-e-Azam Birthplace Museum” is a former family home in the Kharadar district of Karachi, Sindh. The magnificent structure was built during 1860-1870 with stone masonry in lime and jute mortar to suit the volatile weather of Karachi.

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammed Ali Jinnah’s father rented this house in 1874 and later settled here.

About the Virtual Tour: The virtual tour was created under Zong’s Corporate Social Responsibility, entire project was completed in-house by digitizing Quaid’s home-place.

This virtual tour, placed at Zong 4G’s Corporate webpage, allows visitors to take a 3D tour of Quaid’s family home.

The tour allows a ‘life-like’ experience of walking through the entrance and hallways that were once walked by the great leader himself. The tour allows access to Quaid’s bedroom, study and his library which has the original furniture that has been preserved in its original state. The second floor displays astounding artifacts such as Quaid’s clothing, wearables and accessories that were under his use and gives us a peek into his elegant lifestyle.

In a statement released tby Zong 4G’s Director Corporate Affairs Mr. Maham Dard said; “This house, where Quaid spent 16 years of his childhood and youth is a precious national monument that provides inspiration to all of us. Zong 4G has launched this tour on the occasion of our 70^th Independence Day so that people from all across Pakistan and the world can virtually visit the first home of the father of our homeland and experience the awe of this wonderful place themselves.”

“Zong 4G, being Pakistan’s No.1 Data Network, takes great pride in promoting the cause of a digital Pakistan. This initiative is our humble contribution towards our civic duties, which we cherish and value as one of our core responsibilities to the Pakistani society.”
