The Sindh government has submitted a request to the federal authorities to suspend mobile phone services during Ashura Muharram to ensure robust security arrangements.

The Sindh Home Department has sent a formal letter to the Ministry of Interior, recommending the suspension of mobile internet services along the routes of Ashura Muharram processions. The request specifically calls for the suspension of mobile phone services in various districts of the province during the processions to enhance security measures.

The Ministry of Interior is to review the request and make a decision in accordance with the established regulations before notifying the Sindh Home Department of its final stance.

This step is part of the broader security arrangements to ensure the safety and smooth conduct of Ashura Muharram observances across the province.
