After a lengthy 51-hour suspension, mobile and internet services have been restored in the federal capital.
The shutdown significantly disrupted communication throughout Islamabad, impacting both residents and businesses.
This recent interruption is part of a broader trend of internet shutdowns in Pakistan over the past year.
Authorities have frequently suspended mobile and internet services, mainly citing security concerns during political protests, large gatherings, and sensitive national events.
While these shutdowns aim to maintain order, they have raised concerns about their effects on daily life, businesses, and access to information.
In this latest instance, the shutdown coincided with ongoing political protests in the capital, leading to widespread communication blackouts.
As services are restored, the capital is gradually returning to normal, although the recurring shutdowns continue to be a contentious issue for many.
