Internet Speed Restrictions In Jammu And Kashmir Extended Till June 17

Live Law  

The Home Department of the Government of Jammu and Kashmir has passed another Order, extending the restrictions on internet speed in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir till June 17, 2020. The Order comes after the Supreme Court had directed for the constitution of a "Special Committee" on 11th May, headed by the Secretary of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, to examine the issues that had been raised by the Petitioners in a plea which sought for restoration of 4G speed internet services in Jammu and Kashmir. The Order goes on to state that during the period between 12th May, 2020 to 27th May, 2020, in a bid to prevent "likelihood of misuse of the data services by the anti-national elements for mobilizing the crowds and creating law and order situation", mobile internet services and even mobile cellular services, had to be suspended for a limited period of time in specific areas due to a rise in the number of encounters and terror incidents, specifically that of Nawakadal. Therefore, on consideration of the overall security scenario and reports of law enforcement agencies which have "brought out the necessity of speed related restrictions on mobile data services to prevent misuse of internet", the Government of J&K, has ordered for the directions/restrictions to remain in force till 17th June, 2020, unless modified earlier.
