Pakistan Telecommunication Authority on Friday afternoon said that all internet services in Pakistan have been restored, hours after an outage was reported across the country.

“The technical fault in data networks which caused internet outage in Pakistan has been resolved,” read a press release issued by the authority.

PTA said that all internet services in Pakistan “have been restored to normal”.

Earlier in the day, the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd said that its optical fiber network is experiencing “technical faults” due to heavy rains and floods and assured subscribers work is underway to restore services.

“Due to heavy rains and floods, PTCL’s optical fiber network is experiencing some technical faults,” read a statement posted on Twitter.

“As a result, PTCL users in Northern and Central regions are facing internet outage,” the statement said, adding that teams are working to restore the services “on priority”.

Prior to PTCL’s statement, the PTA said internet connectivity problems have been reported by the PTCL and have been caused by an “issue” in data networks between the South and North regions.

“As reported by PTCL, issue has been reported in data networks between South and North which is causing internet connectivity issues,” the authority said.

Without elaborating any further on the nature of the problem at the time, PTA said that the “issue” is being investigated.

The statement added that the PTA is monitoring the situation and will keep users updated.

Internet services went down all over the country, Geo News reported Friday morning.

The outage included internet connections of private organisations, home users and offices in general.

The defense minister stated at a press conference in Islamabad that the Kingdom should not be involved in politics for selfish reasons because of our historical, religious, and economic ties with Saudi Arabia.

2.8 million Pakistanis work in Saudi Arabia and send millions of dollars in remittances, he added, adding that making unfounded accusations against the country will hurt Pakistan’s economy.

According to him, Saudi Arabia has always stood by Pakistan throughout its most trying moments, and Pakistanis have a deep affection and connection to the Kingdom.

There is a breach among PTI ranks and files, and Khawaja Asif stated that we have never witnessed such a low point in politics.

Given the gravity of the accusation, the Minister said, former Army Chief Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa should respond right away.

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government should fight terrorism rather than target the city, he said, adding that the PTI’s demand for a demonstration on November 24 is the third strike on the federal capital.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not allowed to use the resources of the Provincial Government for a party protest, according to the Interior Ministry.

On November 24, the PTI has scheduled a protest, and Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ali Amin Gandapur has declared his intention to participate.

The Federal Government arrested a number of Provincial Government officials who were ordered to participate in the violent protest in Islamabad by the PTI, and confiscated vehicles used by the KP Government against the state during the previous protest in October.

However, the Jinnah Supermarket Traders Union has petitioned the Islamabad High Court to halt the PTI demonstration in the capital and deem it unlawful.

In the petition, the head of the Traders Union has asked the court to rule that the PTI protest violates fundamental human rights by preventing companies from operating and removing the public’s ability to visit stores for necessities.

The petition asked the high court to protect the capital’s workers and PTI founder from unlawful protests.
