4G services were stopped in Jammu and Kashmir in August 2019.
New Delhi:
High speed 4G internet services are being restored across Jammu and Kashmir, a senior government official said on Friday, more than 18 months after they were snapped to prevent a backlash against the centre’s move to revoke the former state’s special status.
“4G mobile internet services being restored in entire J&K,” tweeted Jammu and Kashmir administration spokesperson Rohit Kansal.
Jammu and Kashmir was put under what became the world’s longest-running internet shutdown in a democratic country on August 5, 2019 when the centre announced plans to scrap its decades-old autonomy listed in the constitution.
In days that followed, the state was split into two union territories – Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh – and several politicians, including three former Chief Ministers, were taken into detention to pre-empt a pushback.
