What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A high-level meeting was held in Islamabad to discuss the government's strategy regarding the planned long march. The meeting reviewed the request from the Punjab government to suspend internet services. Officials ultimately agreed not to suspend mobile and internet services immediately, noting that an early shutdown would cause severe difficulties for the public. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority was directed to wait for explicit orders from the Ministry of Interior before taking any action on service suspensions.
