In a bold and progressive step towards enhancing urban security, Yango Pakistan, a subsidiary of the global tech company Yango Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Islamabad Capital Territory Police (ICTP). This landmark partnership aims to integrate ICTP’s innovative public security tools into Yango’s technological framework, forging a new path toward smart, secure mobility solutions in the capital city.
A Vision for a Safer, Smarter Islamabad
The core objective of this collaboration is to elevate public safety standards by embedding ICTP’s safety tools—notably the Smart ICTP App and the Taxi Verification App—into the Yango Super App’s Safety Widget. This seamless integration will allow users to connect directly with law enforcement in real-time during emergencies, providing a critical lifeline for riders across the city.
We are proud to collaborate with ICTP on a shared vision for a safer, smarter Islamabad,said Miral Sharif, Country Head of Yango Pakistan. Through this integration, we’re not just enhancing the rider experience, but also empowering communities with access to real-time safety tools backed by law enforcement.
The move aligns with Yango’s broader mission to offer responsible mobility services, using technology to strengthen urban infrastructure, build public trust, and foster safer communities.
Empowering Citizens Through Digital Safety Tools
One of the primary outcomes of this MoU is a joint information campaign to increase awareness and usage of the Smart ICTP App and Taxi Verification App. Both applications are provided free of charge by ICTP and are geared toward helping citizens:
- Quickly verify the identity of taxi drivers
- Alert police authorities in real-time
- Access essential emergency services with ease
By featuring these tools in Yango’s platform, the company ensures that riders and drivers alike are more informed, safer, and better connected to the resources they need during any security-related incident.
Formalizing the Partnership
The MoU was officially signed by SSP Dr. Muhammad Iqbal (PSP) on behalf of ICTP and Mr. Muhammad Jahangir Khan, representing Yango Pakistan. The document outlines a one-year collaboration period, which will be automatically renewed unless either party decides otherwise. Importantly, the partnership requires no financial obligations from either side, underscoring its mutual commitment to the public good and ethical cooperation.
Both parties have reaffirmed their zero-tolerance stance on corruption, emphasizing that the partnership will strictly adhere to legal and ethical standards throughout its tenure.
Technology Meets Law Enforcement
This collaboration represents more than just an agreement between a private tech company and a public police force—it’s a sign of growing synergy between technology and governance in Pakistan. By embedding law enforcement capabilities directly into a consumer-focused app, this partnership signals a paradigm shift in how cities can use digital tools for real-world impact.
It also reflects the evolving expectations of modern-day commuters, especially in large urban areas like Islamabad, where the demand for smart mobility and public safety is higher than ever.
Yango’s Growing Footprint in Pakistan
Yango continues to expand its footprint in Pakistan, and this partnership further solidifies its commitment to building meaningful, socially responsible collaborations at the local level. With rider safety at the forefront, Yango is positioning itself not only as a transport provider but also as a stakeholder in Pakistan’s digital transformation.
From rider protection features to community engagement campaigns, the company’s approach is increasingly centered on creating a trusted ecosystem for mobility—where innovation meets integrity.
As urban centers grow and the mobility landscape continues to evolve, partnerships like this between Yango and ICTP could set a precedent for similar collaborations across Pakistan. Integrating real-time public safety tools into everyday apps could be a game-changer for urban safety, potentially serving as a blueprint for other cities and tech firms looking to make a tangible impact.
