Internet and mobile phone services partially blocked in Lahore amid PTI protest

Residents of Lahore have faced partial disruptions to internet and mobile phone services since yesterday, hindering their ability to stay connected. Concerns regarding the ongoing disruption have emerged, yet the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has not released any public statement concerning the service outage.

The disruption is not limited to Lahore; it resonates through major urban centers throughout Pakistan, notably in Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad.

A recent service outage has occurred alongside escalating political tensions, with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) organizing a protest at D-Chowk in Islamabad. Authorities enforced Section 144 in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Attock, and Sargodha, deploying Rangers at key locations to maintain order and prevent any disturbances.

On October 5th, Lahore witnessed the deployment of Rangers to enhance security measures. The limitations on political activities are set to remain in effect until Sunday, October 6th.

The suspension of cell and internet services is generating considerable frustration, as this disruption profoundly affects both businesses and everyday life. The evolving circumstances have left many people in suspense, anxiously waiting for additional information from authorities.
