Punjab Assebmly Banned Late Night Packages

By Jamil Arif on February 3, 2010



Punjab Assembly today resolved to ban all the late night call packages across Punjab. After the strong arguments about how the late night packages were having the negative impact on the youth, the resolution was passed unanimously.

It is worth mentioning here that almost all the cellular companies in Pakistan Mobilink, Telenor, Warid, Zong are offering quite attractive late night offers that are quite popular amongst the youth and the popularity is growing day by day. While this package are quite helpful for the students who prepare their assignments, presentations and exams late night, these packages were certainly abused by many.

The most noted case of abuse of late night offer is that a bunch of boys add each other in the conference call, and then they dial a random number and tease them late night. There have been several cases of the same sort and apparently this is the good move of Punjab Assembly.

    Just two question.
    In your post why is Mobilink, Zong and Warid, wrriten in bold?
    & Why have you not mentioned about Ufone?

    I think their should be some limit on night packages but should not be banned completely or rates for the night packages must be raised.
    All the telecom companies are earning huge amount of profit from the night packages so they always appose these kind of decisions.

    I completely disagree to the bill that has been passed by Punjab
    Assembly. The authorities says that the Late Night Packages are
    destroying the youth. I myself is among that age group and I do have
    friends to whom I talk in the night but it really doesn't mean that I
    am spoiled. I am an A Grader in my major subjects. I suggest the
    authorities to be right directed, instead of being self directed and political gain.
