Sabir Shah Hoti • October 11, 2026 • Pakistan

Mobile phone services have been suspended across Nowshera, while several areas of Peshawar experienced another disruption in mobile connectivity late at night.

According to reports, mobile phone services provided by all cellular companies were suddenly suspended late at night, leaving residents facing difficulties in contacting family members and others.

The suspension came after mobile services had been restored last night, providing temporary relief to residents. However, the services were reportedly shut down again without prior notice.

Meanwhile, mobile phone services have remained completely suspended in Bajaur since last night, causing further communication difficulties for residents.

No official reason for the latest suspension was immediately available.

 

On other hand Citizens in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the performance of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, particularly over the deteriorating law and order situation and continued incidents of terrorism in the province.

Residents have called for the removal of Chief Minister (CM) Sohail Afridi, saying that a change in the provincial government’s approach is necessary to improve security and tackle terrorism effectively.

Criticising the PTI government and the chief minister, citizens said they had yet to see substantial practical work in the province, while political slogans and calls to travel to Adiala and D-Chowk continued to dominate political discourse.

The citizens said KP needed more than a change of faces, calling for fundamental changes in policies and the administrative system to address the province’s security challenges.

Some citizens also demanded that the courts consider banning PTI and imposing restrictions on its leaders, while calling for a government capable of adopting an effective strategy against terrorism.

They further stressed that the police’s operational powers and administrative structure should be protected from political interference so that law-enforcement agencies can perform their duties effectively.

The citizens said improving law and order and eliminating terrorism should be treated as the government’s priority, rather than allowing political confrontation to overshadow the province’s security and governance challenges.
