Government to suspend internet and mobile services ahead of PTI protest

The federal government will partially suspend internet and mobile services in Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab ahead of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) protest on November 24. This measure aims to control the situation as PTI plans a nationwide demonstration. Containers have been placed in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, and Section 144 has been imposed to restrict gatherings. Heavy police presence is in place, with 4,500 officers deployed and key roads blocked to prevent disruptions. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has activated a firewall to slow down internet services and limit access to social media. No nationwide internet shutdown has been ordered, but local suspensions may occur based on developments.
