Prime Minister Imran Khan said that his government had "fulfilled another commitment" by launching the ICT City App which he said brings the government directly to people's doorstep and all city departments together.

"This has become even more critical during this time of Covid-19 pandemic," he said in a tweet, adding that it provides as many as 43 different services online.

"App will also allow rapid response by the administration to shortages of goods including vital medical supplies.

"This will end inconvenience caused to citizens having to wait in long queues and numerous trips to government offices. After a trial period in Islamabad we will introduce this service in other cities as well," he said in subsequent tweets.
