Mobile Internet Partially Restored in Twin Cities
Mobile internet services have been partially restored in Islamabad and Rawalpindi after a two-day suspension caused by ongoing protests in the capital.
The federal government suspended mobile data services in both cities citing security concerns following demonstrations by Tehreek e Labbaik Pakistan.
Millions of users were left without 3G and 4G access as telecom operators including Jazz, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone struggled to maintain stable connectivity.
Residents in the twin cities reported that browsing, messaging, and online communication remained slow and unreliable throughout the suspension period.

The disruption hit online businesses, delivery networks, and ride hailing services, leaving digital and economic activities across both cities badly affected.
Many citizens expressed frustration, saying internet shutdowns have become a routine measure during protests, disrupting education and professional work.
Authorities defend such actions on security grounds, while critics argue these restrictions harm digital access and hinder the country’s economic growth.
The partial restoration provides temporary relief, but uncertainty persists regarding the complete return of stable internet services in the affected regions.
