Cellular companies directed to abolish ‘night packages’

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has directed mobile companies to slash their night calling packages for proving to be a cause of “social nuisance”. PTA cited views conveyed by some segments of the society as the reason behind the new directive. According to them, late night packages are hampering the intellect of the country’s youth through wastage of time. Recently, the Punjab Assembly had passed a resolution demanding imposition of a ban on these calling packages for the same reasons.
