ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is closely monitoring the telecom situation in flood-affected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other parts of the country.
Flash floods have damaged several cellular and fixed-line sites, causing service disruptions.
PTA teams are on-ground, coordinating with federal/provincial authorities, district administrations, and telecom operators for swift restoration. In Buner, PTA held meetings with minister Ameer Muqaam, PTI Chairman Gohar Khan, Deputy Commissioner Buner Kashif Qayum, and senior officials of PTCL and CMOs to review recovery efforts.
