Mobile services being restored in Kashmir

Live Mint  

New Delhi: Just days after the United Nations raised doubts about the clampdown that had been imposed in Kashmir, the Union home ministry has started restoring communication services in the Valley, starting Wednesday evening. Just days after the United Nations raised doubts about the clampdown that had been imposed in Kashmir, the Union home ministry started restoring communication services in the valley, starting Wednesday evening. The move comes a month after a complete communication ban was imposed in the Valley, in order to quell any kind of retaliatory action to the abrogation of Article 370, with the government rationalising the communication shut down as a means to dispel rumour mongering and backlash. While only postpaid mobile services have been activated in Jammu and Kashmir starting Wednesday, an official familiar with the development said that even as mobile numbers of officials catering to essential services have also been activated, the status of mobile services being activated in other areas is still unknown.
