In Karachi, Nawabshah and Hyderabad, most cellphone users found their signals restored. PHOTO: FILE
The government had suspended mobile phone services in most cities to avoid terrorist activity during Muharram 9 and 10.
The PTA has now announced that services will be restored by 10pm in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, while the service has already been restored in many parts of Punjab.
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.
Rawalpindi, where clashes have erupted, has seen services partially restored.

By blocking the mobile phones' services and banning the pillion-riding on motorbikes Pakistani government is curing the cancer of terrorism by Paracetamol only this is why Pakistani government is not taking any serious,strong,permanent and long-lasting practical steps to control and uproot terrorism from Pakistan sincerely and honestly and just depends on blocking the mobile phones' services and banning the pillion-riding on motorbikes on the special occasions and dates for the time being temporarily to increase difficulties and problems in the nation's life.......

The only countries where shias can take procession are non muslim countries. Jinnah's dream come true.

M.Emad Hope you meant to spread positivity. But it looks like you are saying Moharram and ashura and sectarian violence, all are responsible for the disruption of cellular services. I hope Pakistanis come out of this dumb culture of attack and blame activities of minorities instead of curbing the rampant terrorism which is the real cause of cellular service disruption. But then, we would not be as thick a nation as we are if we showed this much understanding of terrorism and it's implications. Sigh.
Lahoris have to suffer more (as usual)
@Syed A. Mateen: why not in lhr :(
