ISLAMABAD (PEN) : The federal government is reportedly planning to partially suspend internet and mobile phone services starting November 23 given Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) protest on November 24.
Sources claimed that the suspension is likely to affect Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and multiple districts in Punjab.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is set to activate a firewall on mobile internet services from November 20, which will significantly slow down internet speeds and restrict downloads on social media apps.
Further disruptions, including a complete suspension of internet and mobile services in certain locations, are under consideration depending on the evolving situation.
