Internet services were disrupted in parts of the country on Tuesday, according to Downdetector.
Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including users, showed that users reported issues with the services of three internet service providers — Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL), Transworld Home, and Nayatel shortly after noon.
For PTCL, users reported disruption in services primarily from Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi. For Transworld Home, issues were reported from Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. For Nayatel, users reported issues from Rawalpindi, Lahore and near Okara.
Today’s disruption comes as access to social media platform X has been largely disrupted in the country since February 17, after former commissioner Rawalpindi Liaquat Ali Chatta made a statement in front of the media claiming that the “elections were rigged”.
