ISLAMABAD:

The recent flash floods in Balochistan have caused damage to optic fibre at multiple points, leading to disrupted voice and data services in Lasbela, Kech, Panjgoor, Gawadar, Awaran, Ziarat, Mastung and adjoining areas.

About 343 cell sites of three cellular mobile operators (Telenor, Zong and Ufone) and PTCL have been affected due to floods, said a news release issued on Monday.

Efforts are being made to resolve this unprecedented situation as PTA is working with the operators concerned for an early restoration of affected communication channels.
