Mobile internet suspended across Balochistan amid security concerns

Mobile internet services have been suspended throughout Balochistan on the orders of the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), sources confirmed on Wednesday.

According to officials, the move was taken in light of security concerns, though no specific threat or incident has been officially disclosed. The suspension has left residents across the province facing severe difficulties in communication, banking transactions, and online services.

Sources say mobile internet is expected to be restored by August 31, but until then, users will have to rely on alternative means for connectivity. The blackout has triggered frustration among the public, with many questioning the recurring trend of digital shutdowns during sensitive periods.
