The severe flash floods that have been occurring in the northern part of Pakistan are causing connectivity challenges, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), which stated this on Saturday.
The areas affected by the outage included Chitral, Upper Dir, Donbala, Swat, Medan, Lal Qila Samarbaghdir, Tank, and DI Khan, according to a statement released by the regulatory agency.
The company tweeted that the PTA is “monitoring the issue closely” and that “work is underway to restore services.”
Numerous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cities have been reduced to a living hell over the past twenty-four hours due to the catastrophic flooding that has affected the province, with the Malakand division being the worst affected.
In addition, large-scale destruction of property was reported from various parts of the province. This included well-known hotels, houses, shops, private buildings, and government installations. The gushing waters also wiped out thousands of acres of standing crops and hundreds of thousands of cattle. Dozens of bridges, including those that linked major cities, were also washed away.
According to the official statistics, there have been around two dozen fatalities; however, the unofficial sources imply that the number of victims is significantly greater. In several municipalities, schools and other educational facilities, along with government buildings, have been ordered to shut their doors in preparation for the rehabilitation of flood victims.
