LHC fixes plea challenging ‘intentional’ internet outage for hearing

The Lahore High Court (LHC) fixed a petition, challenging the internet outage in Pakistan, for hearing on Friday. A citizen, Nadeem, in his petition maintained that the internet has been ‘intentionally’ slowed down in Pakistan without any valid reasons. He argued that the internet outage has been affecting IT-related businesses. “While the world is advancing with modern technology, Pakistan’s IT sector is being destroyed,” the petitioner said.
