PTA Conducts Successful Raids against Illegal ISPs

In its continuous efforts to eliminate the rampant proliferation of illegal internet services, Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) conducted two successful raids in Gojra City, in collaboration with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

The raids against illegal internet service providers were conducted at Adeeb Plaza Main Bansan Wala Bazar and Mehdi Shah Bazar. One person was arrested and illegal ISPs equipment was also confiscated.

The successful raids against illegal ISPs were made possible through PTA’s continuous monitoring, commitment, and persistent efforts to combat the menace of illegal internet services, thus reducing losses to the national exchequer resulting from tax evasion and misreporting of revenues.The public is once again cautioned to avail telecom services from only PTA licensed operators to avoid sudden discontinuation of service.
