Mobile internet services were restored across multiple districts of Balochistan after prolonged suspensions that left residents cut off for weeks. In Qila Abdullah, services resumed after a 25-day suspension, while in Kalat, connectivity was restored nearly a month after being shut down on August 6, though surrounding rural areas remain disconnected.

In Barkhan, mobile data services were partially restored after 26 days, and in Kohlu, residents confirmed restoration following a 25-day suspension. In Duki, internet services were also restored but Ufone users remained without access, underscoring uneven digital coverage. Loralai similarly saw services resume after weeks of disruption.

The shutdowns in these six districts—Qila Abdullah, Kalat, Barkhan, Kohlu, Duki, and Loralai—had severely affected local communities. Residents reported major difficulties in communication, online education, healthcare access, banking services, and trade.

Authorities have often cited security concerns and cross-border militancy as reasons for imposing such blackouts, particularly in border regions of Balochistan. However, rights groups and digital activists have strongly criticized the repeated suspensions, calling them violations of the fundamental right to information and freedom of expression.
