Caretaker Balochistan Information Minister Jan Achakzai has said that internet services will be “temporarily restricted” at sensitive polling booths located in various areas of the province.
“Ensuring the safety and security of ordinary citizens is of utmost importance, as there is a concern that terrorists may exploit social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and other similar channels for communication purposes,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Consequently, Achakzai continues, internet access would be restricted in the run-polls to polls in areas including Turbat, Mach and Chaman.
