ISLAMABAD: According to sources who spoke to News on Thursday, the federal government has chosen to partially halt internet and mobile services in Islamabad and other parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab in anticipation of the impending “do-or-die” protest that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced on November 24.
According to the reports, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority would stop the aforementioned services on November 23 and activate its firewall for mobile internet service on November 22.
The development coincides with the announcement this week of a protest march in the federal capital by the erstwhile ruling party, which has repeatedly demanded the release of its imprisoned founder, Imran Khan, and the return of its mandate, which it claims was stolen in the February 8 polls.
