Mobile internet services have been suspended once again in Quetta, causing inconvenience for users across the city. Authorities have not provided any explanation for the latest disruption, which comes just days after a previous outage.
The recurring mobile internet services suspensions have left residents frustrated, especially during the Eid holidays when communication is essential. Many rely on mobile internet for work, staying in touch with family, and accessing important services. The sudden shutdowns create difficulties for businesses, students, and emergency responders who depend on stable connectivity.
In recent months, Balochistan has seen an increase in militant attacks. Security forces remain on high alert, and restrictions on night-time travel for passenger vehicles are still in place.

While officials have not linked the internet suspensions to security concerns, many believe they are related. The government has previously restricted mobile services in different parts of the country to curb militant activities and prevent the spread of misinformation. However, these measures also impact ordinary citizens who rely on digital access for daily activities.
Local businesses, particularly online services and delivery platforms, have reported losses due to the frequent disruptions. Many students preparing for exams also struggle without internet access. Residents have urged the authorities to find alternative solutions that ensure security without affecting their daily lives.
Despite repeated suspensions, the government has not announced any clear policy or timeframe for restoring mobile internet services. Citizens are demanding greater transparency and a permanent solution to avoid future disruptions.
