QUETTA: In a recent update, Residents of Quetta have been facing internet and mobile phone disruptions since yesterday making it difficult to communicate.

The internet and mobile phone services have been partially suspended in some areas of Quetta due to security reasons.

According to the Balochistan Home Department, the services, which were suspended on Sunday night, are expected to be restored by midnight on Tuesday, January 7. The suspension has caused significant inconvenience for residents.

On the other hand, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) has announced a shutter-down strike across Balochistan today.  According to the JUI-Balochistan leader Maulana Abdul Wasay the protests would continue until their demands are met.

Some suggest that the internet disruptions are a result of the ongoing protest in Balochistan.
