District East was not included in the plan while areas such as Nishtar Park, Shah Nawaz Bhutto Road, Father Jammes Road, MA Jinnah Road till Capri cinema and Preedy Street up to Parking Plaza Saddar will face suspension from 11am (Aug 28) to 4pm (Aug 29).
Sources said that there will be a partial suspension along the routes of Muharram processions between 7am and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Thatta, Sujawal, Hyderabad, Khairpur, Tando Muhammad Khan, Dadu and Jacobabad are among other districts, which will face network suspensions in their entirety albeit in different timings with most of them facing suspension only on Sunday.
Apart from this, many cities of Sindh will also face cellular suspensions in different timings with some facing this restriction only on 10th Muharram while others going off line all three days.
