Mobile service suspended for four hours
ISLAMABAD/KARACHI - Cellphone services were resumed in Pakistani cities and towns on Saturday after a four-hour-long suspension on the first day of Eid Al Adha.
The services were suspended from 6 to 10am in the light of information from intelligence agencies and provincial governments over “threats to national security” on the first day of the Eid, officials of the interior ministry said on Saturday.
The suspension was not countrywide but was partial and in cities and pockets considered sensitive.
Earlier on Friday, television channels had quoted their sources as saying the suspension order applied to three cities of Sindh (Karachi, Hyderabad and Khairpur), three cities of Punjab (Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan), Quetta, Mastung, Gwadar, Turbat, Naseerabad and Sibi in Balochistan; Peshawar, Mansehra, Buner and Chitral in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; Bajaur and Mohmand agencies, Gilgit and Skardu.
A Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday had ordered the government not to shut down mobile phones services.
The court had advised the government to do so only after a presidential approval.
A similar shut down of the service was done during Eid Al Fitr holidays.
