Millions of people in Pakistan have one big question and that is when Facebook, twitter, YouTube, Dailymotion will be unblocked. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has stated that these social networking websites and video-sharing sites YouTube and Dailymotion would remain blocked in the country until the law and order situation improved.
So there is no definite time period when these services will be unblocked. TV channels are got off air after Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) issued notification prohibiting live coverage of the Faizabad operation.
PTA also stated that there is no instruction to block mobile service. On WhatsApp it was widely spread that mobile service will also be suspended.
Many in Pakistan are using these websites through proxy websites. Internet speed has become very slow.
Meanwhile Government has ordered the deployment of the army in Islamabad under Article 245 of the Constitution to help normalize situation in capital.
