Reports say that internet services will remain suspended on 10th of Moharram or 24th October 2015 due to security reasons.
Cities that may face this blackout situation could be Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore. There may be others cities too.
Time frame for closure of internet service is not yet told but we are expecting that these will remain suspended till 10PM in these cities.
