Mobile phone internet services have been suspended in several districts of Balochistan, including Quetta and Chaman, due to security concerns.
The suspension, imposed for three days, has disrupted communication, business activity, and daily life for thousands of residents.
In Quetta, mobile data services were halted as part of precautionary measures taken by authorities. Similar disruptions were reported in the suburbs of Chaman, where mobile internet service has also been suspended, according to official sources.
Residents say the shutdown has made even basic communication difficult, especially for those who rely on mobile data for everyday tasks.
Widespread suspension across Balochistan
Sources in the Balochistan Home Department confirmed that mobile internet data service has been suspended in multiple districts across the province for three days. They said the decision was made in view of the law and order situation, though no formal notification has yet been issued.
Officials have not publicly commented on when the services may be restored.
Public and business community face disruptions
Users across the affected regions report severe difficulties due to the ongoing shutdown. People associated with online businesses, freelancing, and digital services expressed concern, noting that their work has come to a halt.
Residents said that the unavailability of mobile internet has restricted communication channels and disrupted essential daily activities. Online education, digital banking, e-commerce, and remote business operations have been badly affected, adding to public frustration.
