The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) confirmed Friday that it had started restoring internet across Pakistan, days after it blocked mobile broadband services across the country.
The telecom regulator blocked mobile broadband services across the country on May 9 on the interior ministry’s directives.
Enraged PTI supporters resorted to violence attacking military and government buildings in Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Peshawar.
The step was taken by the authorities to control the spread of chaos, while access to major social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube was also blocked since then.
A PTA spokesperson confirmed to media today that internet services were being restored after directives to this end were received from the interior ministry.
