The services of the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) have been suspended in Chiniot and adjoining areas after fibre cables have been damaged.
The severance of fibre cable disrupted PTCL’s telecommunication services on Sunday in Chiniot and adjoining areas. The main fibre line of the PTCL was damaged during some construction work.
After the suspension of PTCL’s service, internet, telephone and the broadband services had been disrupted in the area, due to which people are facing several difficulties, even unable to contact emergency helplines such as the Rescue 1122 and police.
The Rescue 1122 Service spokesman Muhammad Ali has issued a mobile phone number (0344)1011122 and advised the public to contact on this number for seeking help during any emergency situation.
Meanwhile, the banks and their ATMs are also not working properly because their links are also being severed.
The PTCL authorities informed that the works to repair the fibre line have started.
