The PTA spokesman confirmed that internet connections had been restored across the country, but no directions to re-establish social media networks had been received.
Due to political unrest in the country, the government restricted internet access and social media sites such as YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The country experienced a substantial economic loss as a result of the suspension—a nearly 50% decline in point-of-sale transactions routed through the country's main digital payment networks a day following Imran Khan's imprisonment.
The IT and telecommunications industries also sustained massive losses in the prior three days.
The decision to restore the internet connection was made after the Supreme Court pronounced Imran Khan's arrest unconstitutional.
Despite this decision, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah indicated earlier today that it would be suspended until individuals involved in violence and property damage during recent rallies were apprehended.
Amnesty International has called on Pakistani authorities to lift internet restrictions.Rimmel Mohydin stated that there is an urgent need to resolve the situation in Pakistan since it is a violation of human rights and threatens further casualties.
