Islamabad now has a "City App" with the Ministry of Information Technology (MoIT), the National Information Technology Board and the Capital Development Authority collaborating to empower residents with a locally developed mobile application that will help them explore the city.

Users can also use the application to gain instant access to various government departments, utilities, law-enforcement agencies and emergency contact numbers based on their locations.

Peshawar residents can now register 'sanitation' complains via app

“The categories of information in Islamabad City App include Metro Bus Stations, Emergency Numbers, complaint handling, crime reporting, hospitals, pharmacy, restaurants, fuel station information and much more,” according to a statement.



The launching ceremony was attended by State Minister for Information Technology Anusha Rehman, who said: "Such initiatives will lay down a foundation and a step towards establishing 'Smart Cities' for a digital Pakistan which is in line with MoIT’s vision."

The application is only available on Google Play store for now. Download it here.
