02:24After that, viewers, the internet service providers come.
02:28What are they saying in this regard?
02:31This is the unexpected result of the government's decision to increase security and surveillance.

02:42The Internet Service Providers Association is saying.
02:45In the past few weeks, the speed of the internet has decreased by 30 to 40%.
02:51This has created a chaotic situation for digital business and these individuals.

03:25These departments, which are the backbone of Pakistan's growing digital economy,
03:29are now struggling to maintain operations.
03:34And the slowdown of the internet is putting their survival in danger.
03:38This has been said by them.
03:40The situation has become so serious that many businesses are considering transferring their operations to other countries where internet services are continuous.
03:51This is a very encouraging situation for our customers.
03:56Many people are leaving small ISPs because they can no longer maintain a bad service standard.
04:04They are saying that if this continues, they will see the exports of digital business from Pakistan on a large scale.
04:13This is what Chairman Wajib Wazipaib Shahzad Arshad has said.
04:19BBC has also covered this issue.
04:23Freelancers are worried about the internet in Pakistan.
04:25They are saying that they are suffering a loss, but the real loss is the government.
04:30They are explaining how the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority is silent on this issue.
04:35And they are not getting any clear answer on this issue.
04:38The Urdu News has also covered this issue.
04:42Dear viewers, the situation is so serious.
04:45As you have seen, there are apps for home cooking in Garelu Sada.
04:53If they want to start a business in a locality, they can order food from there.
05:02But their orders are not getting delivered.
05:04The biker is waiting for a passenger.
05:08He is not getting a passenger, he is not getting a client.
05:10His application is not working.
05:12Similarly, the big businesses are suffering.
05:17These problems are facing people on a daily basis.
05:22WhatsApp call is not getting through.
05:24We went to Lahore first, then Islamabad.
05:26The people there have given their opinion on this issue.
05:29Let's take you to Lahore first.
05:31Due to the recent internet crisis in Pakistan, the most affected group is the freelancers.
05:38Whether they are related to IT, development or e-commerce sellers.
05:43A lot of people lost their jobs because of the internet.
05:46Now clients are also losing their jobs.
05:48The clients are not getting their work delivered on time.
05:50I am not able to talk to my customers.
05:53They are facing a lot of problems.
05:55If you are facing a problem, I want you to solve it.
05:58So that we can get our work done.
06:00There is a lot of distortion because of the internet.
06:04There was already a shortage of jobs in Pakistan.
06:07We were able to work with only one freelancer.
06:10Now there are so many problems because of the internet.
06:13We are not able to communicate with our clients.
06:16Revenue is coming in dollars.
06:17It is having a bad impact.
06:19When the internet is not available,
06:21we will not be able to keep a stable connection with them in any country.
06:25It creates a lot of gaps.
06:27It has a bad impact on them.
06:29The government and our institutions should realize that
06:32if these people do not work,
06:35then the indirect exchange that is coming to you,
06:38will stop coming.
06:40Ladies and gentlemen, there is an internet service provider called Fiverr.
06:45A lot of freelancers work on it in Pakistan.
06:48They operate through it.
06:51There is news from Urdu News that
06:53the status of the people who were using it from Pakistan,
06:56has been deactivated by Fiverr.
07:00Fiverr is giving a statement.
07:05We understand that there may be internet disruptions in your area
07:08that might make it harder to keep your routine going.
07:12To make sure any unexpected order delays won't hurt your ratings,
07:17we are going ahead and temporarily setting up your availability status.
07:21He is explaining further.
07:23Keep in mind that this action will not negatively impact your ratings.
07:29But obviously, there is a problem.
07:32After that, today we sent our reporters to different places in Islamabad
07:37and took people's reaction from there.
07:39Listen to what kind of difficulties we faced.
07:43It's been 15-20 days since the internet issue started.
07:46We don't send any demand or anything.
07:49We don't receive any voice message.
07:51Even if we send a picture, it doesn't open.
07:53This affects our business a lot.
07:55Because you know, everything happens through the internet and WhatsApp.
07:58The internet issue has been going on for 10 days.
08:01We don't receive any message.
08:03WhatsApp doesn't work.
08:04Apps don't work.
08:05We don't get a ride.
08:06All day long.
08:08Of course, we have small children.
08:10Because of this, we are in a lot of trouble.
08:12You have deprived the people of electricity.
08:15You have made everything so expensive.
08:17The people are crying now.
08:18If the internet was hidden on one thing, you would have reached it.
08:2290% of our work is on WhatsApp.
08:25WhatsApp or email.
08:27We don't want WhatsApp or email.
08:29Their job is to create ease.
08:31But they have sworn not to let anyone suffer.
08:36There will be a state of disturbance and uncertainty among the people.
08:39This state of uncertainty is against the democratic system.
