The suspension of mobile internet services in Balochistan over security concerns has severely impacted the online food delivery sector in Quetta, leaving the livelihoods of over 1,000 people at risk. Authorities suspended 3G and 4G services from August 6 to August 31 as part of security measures.

Workers in the online delivery industry say the prolonged outage has brought their business to a standstill, threatening to wipe out their income entirely. They have urged the government to restore mobile internet services immediately to ease their economic hardships.
