Maryam Nawaz Ramazan 2026: No Official “All-Network Free Internet Package” – Here’s the Real Story
Maryam Nawaz Ramazan 2026: No Official “All-Network Free Internet Package” – Here’s the Real Story.
In the last few weeks of February and early March 2026, thousands of WhatsApp forwards, Instagram Reels and TikTok videos have gone viral claiming that Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has announced a special Ramazan free internet offer – 100 GB or 40 GB free mobile data for all networks (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone) as a special gift during the holy month.
The short and clear answer: This offer does not exist.
Why the Rumour Spreads So Fast
Eye-catching headlines like “Maryam Nawaz 100GB Free Internet Package 2026”
Fake activation codes (*102#, *514#, etc.)
Screenshots showing “offer activated” that are either edited or from old paid bundles
Many of these videos are posted by pages that also promote the real Rs 10,000 Ramazan cash package to get more views and clicks
Reliable fact-checkers and technology websites have already labelled these claims as misleading or outright scams. There is no government notification, no press release from the Punjab government, and no statement from Maryam Nawaz Sharif herself announcing any such mobile data gift for all networks.
What Maryam Nawaz Has Actually Launched for Ramazan 2026
The Punjab government under CM Maryam Nawaz has rolled out one of the biggest relief packages in recent years:
1. Ramazan Nigehban Package (Biggest Highlight)
Rs 10,000 one-time cash assistance to approximately 4.2 million low-income families in Punjab
Free/subsidised ration (flour, sugar, ghee, etc.) delivered at doorsteps or through Nigehban Card
Total budget: Rs 47 billion
How to check eligibility (100% free)
Send your 13-digit CNIC to 8070 (SMS)
Or call helpline 1000
Or use the official “Maryam Ko Batayein” app/web portal
2. CM Maryam Nawaz Free Wi-Fi Project (Real Free Internet)
Hundreds of public Wi-Fi hotspots already live in Lahore, with expansion to more districts
Free high-speed internet at parks, markets, hospitals, bus stands and safe-city points
Anyone can connect without any SIM or package – just look for “CM Maryam Nawaz Free Wi-Fi”
3. Normal Telecom Ramazan Offers (Network-wise)
Mobile companies always release special Ramazan bundles every year with extra data at discounted prices. These are regular commercial offers, not government freebies. Check your own network’s app or dial their short code for current deals.
Bottom Line for Citizens
If you see any message asking you to:
Click a link for “100 GB free internet by Maryam Nawaz”
Share your CNIC or phone number for “activation”
Dial a secret USSD code
→ It is almost certainly fake. Do not click or share your details.
The real help from the Punjab government this Ramazan is the Rs 10,000 cash + ration for deserving families and expanded free public Wi-Fi. These are transparent, official programmes that millions of Punjab residents are already benefiting from.
