Daily DAWN Reporter
ISLAMABAD, July 8: The country’s internet system is back on track after two weeks of disruption as the fault in the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-3 (SEAMEWE-3) undersea cable near Karachi has been rectified by Dubai-based experts.
Pakistan Telecommunication Company President Junaid I. Khan said at a press conference at the company’s headquarters on Friday that the cable had been damaged by the anchor of a ship and the fault had been rectified.
He said the internet services were normalized at 11:54am. He said the experts had to face harsh weather caused by monsoon rains in the Arabian Sea.
He said a committee was being formed to seek ban on fishing in the sea over the cable to avert such a situation in future.
