flag Pakistan cut mobile internet in Quetta for 24 hours on Oct. 31, 2025, citing security concerns, marking the second shutdown in two months.

flag Pakistan suspended mobile internet services in Quetta for 24 hours on October 31, 2025, citing a "peculiar law and order situation" and unspecified security threats. flag The move, affecting all 3G and 4G networks, was ordered by the Balochistan Home Department and enforced across the Quetta district. flag It marks the second such shutdown in two months, following a similar closure in August that disrupted education, businesses, and media operations. flag Authorities claim the measure is temporary and necessary for public safety, but critics, including human rights groups and journalists, argue it amounts to collective punishment and undermines transparency. flag The Balochistan High Court had previously ordered the restoration of services after the August shutdown. flag Pakistan ranks highest globally in economic losses from internet outages, with $1.62 billion in damages reported as of January.
