Residents of several Karachi neighborhoods faced disruptions in mobile phone services today as authorities implemented partial suspensions due to security concerns. The affected areas include Saddar, Lyari, and Korangi, where the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) temporarily shut down services to mitigate potential security threats.
The decision to suspend mobile services came amid increasing political unrest and the anticipation of public gatherings in these localities. Karachi, as Pakistan’s largest city, often witnesses such preventive measures during times of political tension to ensure that mobile networks are not misused for coordinating protests or illegal activities.
The PTA has stated that services will be restored once the situation stabilizes, though no specific timeline has been given. Local residents have expressed frustration at the lack of communication during these interruptions, which have affected businesses and daily routines.
