Centre Pauses Cell Broadcasting Services

The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued an order on June 12, announcing the suspension of the Cell Broadcast Service. This decision follows the identification of specific issues by relevant authorities. The service will remain on hold until further notice from the NDMA.

Cell Broadcast Service is designed to deliver emergency messages, helping authorities disseminate critical information to the public in real-time during disasters or emergencies. The suspension may affect the delivery of alerts and advisories, which are crucial for public safety and preparedness in times of crisis.

The NDMA has not disclosed the exact nature of the issues that led to this suspension, nor has it provided a timeline for when the service may resume. Stakeholders and the public are advised to stay tuned for updates from the NDMA regarding the situation.
