As the observance of Ashura draws to a close all over the country, the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has restored cellular services in many parts of Pakistan, Express News reported.
The government had suspended mobile phone services in most cities to avoid terrorist activity during Muharram 9 and 10.

The service was also restored in parts of Sindh and Balochistan as the clock struck 9 pm.
At midnight, mobile phone signals were back in Lahore and Peshawar as well.
