Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has temporarily suspended mobile internet services in certain areas of the Balochistan province.
“The general public is hereby informed that, under the directives of authorized departments, mobile internet services have been temporarily suspended in certain areas of Balochistan,” the regulator said in an official statement.
This measure has been taken to ensure public safety, given the security situation in these areas, PTA added.
This comes amid the security situation in the province. Thursday saw two security personnel, including a major, getting martyred during an operation against terrorists in the Harnai district, according to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
“Security forces of Pakistan, aligned with the nation, remain committed to thwarting any attempts to disrupt peace and stability in Balochistan. Such sacrifices only strengthen our resolve,” the ISPR added.
