J&K government is restoring 4G internet services across the valley. The announcement was made by J&K Principal Secretary (Power & Information). The restoration of high-speed mobile internet services comes after one and a half year. The internet services were restricted to 2G only in the region on August 5, 2019.
This will be the first time when the Valley will effectively avail high-speed internet that was suspended after restrictions were clamped in the Valley following the abrogation of Article 370 and bifurcation of the erstwhile state into two union territories on August 5, 2019.
The restoration of 4G services follows the recommendation of a panel constituted by the Supreme Court of India to review the restrictions vis-à-vis the security situation in the Union Territory, reports have said.
