Dawn’s Swabi correspondent reports that containers were placed at the entry points of the Islamabad–Peshawar Motorway on Sunday, after governor’s rule and an emergency were imposed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The paper’s headline is “Motorway closed in Swabi”. The report describes containers at the entry points. It does not give a reopening time.
Internet and mobile service
The same report says internet and mobile phone services stayed suspended across Swabi. Traders told Dawn the cut had disrupted their work. Irshad Khan, who owns a restaurant near Swabi Interchange, said the business was in trouble because orders are booked online.
Residents asked for internet and mobile service to be restored. PTCL officials told Dawn their systems were not working either, and said they hoped service would return soon.
