According to a technical assessment sent to the Ministry of Information Technology, additional internet service interruptions may be seen by Pakistanis in the near future as the nation contends with significant flooding brought on by persistent rain.
In the past week, there have been two occasions in Pakistan where the internet has gone down.The Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) were ordered by the ministry to produce a report in response to recent cable cut events.
Internet interruptions during the past three days, according to PTCL, were really brought on by “flood relief efforts in the Sukkur division where fiber-optic cables were being damaged mostly by heavy gear used to clear water in Sindh.”
