Facebook, Telegram inaccessible on mobile internet

Facebook and messaging app Telegram have been made inaccessible on mobile phone network.

Users have been having trouble using the two apps since Friday afternoon.

According to media reports, Facebook, Messenger and Telegram were made inaccessible through mobile data as per an unofficial regulatory instruction.

In another development, quota reformists had called for a march following Jummah prayer in protest against the "massacre and mass arrests" and to press for their 9-point demand.

Movement's coordinator Abdul Hannan on Thursday said that prayers will be held in mosques after Friday prayers, and similar observances will take place at temples and churches.

The notice also urged all Bangladeshi citizens—workers, professionals, cultural workers, media workers, human rights activists, intellectuals, and scholars—to support their programme.

Bangladesh experienced a nationwide internet blackout from 18 July to 25 July with mobile network being restored even later on 28 July. Meanwhile, Facebook was fully restored on Thursday.
