Register Complaints Online: Zong is a post from: ProPakistani
Along with helpline, Service Centers and email support- now Zong is offering you to register your complaints online by filling a simple form and telling your problem to Zong Complaint Management Portal.
Zong says that customers will be returned calls on resolution of complaints, however, resolution time is not mentioned at the time of complaint registry.
System doesn’t give you any complaint number, that’s probably due to a fact that complaint system is being tested as of now.
Portal is also asking for username and password, which means Zong has plans to register its customers for complaint management portal. So let’s wait to see more on this support system, particularly the login thing, as its necessary to keep away the spam and un-wanted help seekers.

Japanese Operator Eyes Pakistani Market is a post from: ProPakistani
Japan’s largest mobile telecom company, NTT-DOCOMO, has expressed its interest to invest in Pakistan and to enter into a joint-venture with a local mobile operator, reported The News citing a senior official.
These developments were reported when Iftikhar Babar, Economic Minister in Pakistan Embassy in Tokyo, visited NTT-DOCOMO head office.
After reaching saturation level in local market, DOCOMO is long looking for investment opportunities in Middle East and Africa. For the purpose company had been in talks with Etisalat, Qatar Telecom and Saudi Telecom.
DOCOMO is currently operating in India, Bangladesh, Philippines and South Korea.
It merits mentioning here that DOCOMO’s had to lose USD 3.2 billion in 3 years for their 16 percent stakes in AT&T Wireless in United States.

The large conference room was filled, and some of the gathered wanted to share stories of indignities suffered at the hands of airport security personnel.
It’s the middle of the sweltering hot Summer in Pakistan and power tariffs have been raised yet again by the government. There is pressure from international lenders for Pakistan to raise these tariffs as they will help generate much needed money to invest in Pakistan’s poor energy infrastructure. The burden of the recent tariff increases obviously falls on the poor man and the average middle class Pakistani, as we recalibrate our electricity usage.
Across Pakistan, people fortunate enough to have electricity are afraid to use it because of the astronomical costs associated with it. Families all collect and squeeze into one room in the house in order to use only one air conditioner in the sweltering heat of Summer. And use of even that air conditioner is intermittent at best because of the frequent power outages. And then there are those who can barely even afford a fan which they cannot afford to turn on because the factory where they worked on hourly or daily wages suffers from frequent power outages and doesnt pay them what it used to. All of Pakistan - rich or poor - suffers.
Want to know how doesn’t suffer? The government, the armed forces and the judiciary.
Guess who hasn’t paid their bills? The government, the armed forces and the judiciary.
According to a news report published by the BBC the biggest defaulters on electricity bills in Pakistan are … drumroll … the government, the armed forces and the judiciary!
According to the report government institutions owe TWO BILLION DOLLARS in electricity bills. During a speech in parliament, the Minister for Water and Power Raja Parvez Ashraf revealed that:
These were the highlights that were presented in the report but I am sure there are a host of other high profile offenders in the rosters of WAPDA.
And while we the common citizens - (whose taxes, I might add, pay the salaries for all of the defaulters noted above) - sit in the dark with sweat oozing out of every pore, our President, our military Chiefs and Lordships sit in air conditioned style. Tax payers have always paid the electricity bills for these people’s official and private residences but I guess we are now doing it at the expense of electricity in our own homes and at the expense of our economy.
Its was always kind of annoying to have government and the personnel of the armed forces have subsidized and unchecked use of electricity in their homes when common citizens barely have electricity in theirs. But to know that these institutions don’t even pay their bills despite having electricity provided to them at subsidized rates is worthy of a lot more anger and frustration.
Also, did I mention that according to the constitution of Pakistan, a person is not eligible for a seat in Parliament if they have defaulted on utility bills. And I’m sure the civil and military service have similar rules on default. Makes me wonder what this means for the President and the Minister of Defense - when the institutions that they head have unpaid bills.
Maybe some heads should roll? Or maybe we should just get the ball rolling on paying those bills?
And interestingly, all of this is happening as the government has launched a drive to get private defaulters to pay up or face jail time. So it would not be out of place for WAPDA to publish a list of top defaulters and take them to task first before going after the smaller fish. And maybe the government should clear its own dues first and then start putting into the jail the people who actually pay for the electricity that runs freely through the corridors of government, military and judicial power.
