Demonstrations, marches, and rallies are frequent in Pakistan. These events, even if intended to be peaceful, have the potential to block traffic, disrupt transportation, and otherwise create obstacles to free movement and safety.

In the past, mobile data and cellular service has been limited during these events. U.S. citizens are reminded of the Pakistan Travel Advisory on Travel.state.gov.
