Quetta — Security measures across Balochistan entered their fifth day on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, with train services and mobile internet remaining suspended province-wide following recent terrorist attacks, severely disrupting travel, education, business, and daily life.
Railway officials confirmed the complete halt of major routes, including the Jaffar Express (Quetta–Peshawar), Bolan Mail (Quetta–Karachi), and Chaman Passenger train. Thousands of passengers face hardship, with full ticket refunds promised by the administration.
Mobile phone data and internet services stay offline in most districts as a preventive step against terrorist communications, impacting online classes for students, digital transactions for businesses, and field reporting by journalists.
