اسے اردو میں پڑھیے

karachi-map_4Cellular mobile operators lost Rs. 100 million in revenues due to service suspension in Karachi that was suddenly ordered by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, earlier today.

According to officials of cellular companies, the initial estimates suggest that loss of revenues was around Rs. 100 million for 7 hours of service suspension in Karachi.

Officials further told ProPakistani that around 18-20 million subscribers – of all networks – were impacted due to closure of services.

Government lost around Rs. 30 million in taxes due to in-availability of mobile phone services.

Officials of cellular companies said that they were given service suspension orders in the morning without any prior notice or warning, which resulted into large-scale panic amongst the subscribers, who hadn’t planned service outage, unlike previous service suspension occasions.

20 million cellular subscribers in Karachi were suddenly sent into communication darkness on a day that had no significant religious, national, or regional activity planned. Mobile phone subscribers, who were on the go, were left with no communication means to get in touch with their family and friends in a city that is increasingly becoming dangerous for a common man.

  • And how much can you imagine planty of subscriber lost due to this blockage?? I mean imagine some one subscribed to the call package to call in day time and when he tried to do so was shocked to see “No Service”!!! what about the subscribers??? is there any body who take care of the damn customers???

  • Shah Abdul Latif Bhitaai’s Urs had started yesterday , as far as i think this could be the major concerned over which suspension had occured

  • Also consider the branch-less banking in this regards, sending and receiving money through cell phones.
