November 24, 2012 – Mobile Service suspended by 6 AM PST in 49 major cities of Pakistan. The decision to suspend mobile phone services in the country was taken during a high-level meeting chaired by Interior Minister Rehman Malik in Islamabad on Friday to review security measures adopted to provide peaceful atmosphere to the people during the Ashura.

He said that the phone service in some sensitive cities was partially and fully suspended on 8th of Muharram to avoid any untoward incidents during the mourning processions and Majalis on the requests of relevant provinces.

During the meeting, Malik highlighted the need for temporary suspension of mobile service to avert terrorist activities, interior ministry sources said.The meeting recollected that 820 incidents of terrorist attacks happened in Muharram-ul-Harram during 2011 and 2012 and motorcycles were used in all these attacks.

Requests from all the provinces for suspension of mobile services during the 9th and 10th of Muharram were also reviewed in the meeting.

Malik consulted the AJK prime minister, Punjab chief secretary, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial police officer and Sindh additional chief secretary (Home) on mobile service suspension.

The minister issued instructions to all the provinces regarding strict security measures during the Muharram processions for the protection of life and property of innocent people who are exposed to terrorist activities.

The meeting also decided to suspend mobile service in different sensitive cities including Lahore, Multan, Sargodha, Attock, Rawalpindi, Jhang, Rahim Yar Khan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Quetta, Kallat, Khuzdar, Turbat, Gawadar, Panjgur, Mastung, Kohlu, Dera Bugti, Hub, Kohat, Ustarzai, Hangu, Bannu, Laki Marwat, DI Khan, Tank, Nowshehra, Haripur, Charssadda, Mardan, Kurram Agency (Parachanar), Miranshah, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s cities including Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Neelam Vally, Rawalakot, Mirpur and in Gilgit-Baltistan.
