Recognizing the urgency of the situation, PTA, in collaboration with telecom operators, mobilized its resources immediately to restore connectivity at the earliest possible time.
According to official updates, most of the affected towers were repaired and brought back online within two days, enabling smooth mobile and internet services in flood-stricken districts. The rapid restoration reflects PTA’s commitment to maintaining uninterrupted connectivity for telecom users, even in the face of natural disasters.
A PTA spokesperson highlighted that communication plays a vital role during emergencies, as it allows people to remain in touch with their families, seek assistance, and access timely information. The authority reaffirmed that it will continue working tirelessly alongside telecom operators to ensure complete restoration of services in all impacted areas.
In addition to restoring telecom towers, PTA has also been monitoring the quality of service to ensure that users receive stable and reliable coverage. Emergency teams remain on high alert to address any further disruptions caused by floods or weather conditions.
The swift response has been widely appreciated by residents, as restored mobile services have provided much-needed relief and a sense of security to thousands of families across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
With climate-induced disasters becoming more frequent in Pakistan, PTA reiterated its resolve to stand firmly with telecom users during every challenging time, ensuring that communication networks remain resilient and accessible when they are needed most.
