Postpaid Mobile Services Restored In Kashmir, But No Internet

Postpaid mobile services on all networks were restored in the Kashmir valley on Monday.

This comes 72 days after the valley was put under a lockdown along with a communication blackout.

Some 40 lakh postpaid mobile phones have become operational from Monday noon. Around 30 lakh pre-paid mobile phone connections are yet to be restored.

However, Mobile internet and broadband still continue to be blocked in the Valley since the August decision to abrogate Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir.

Restrictions were imposed after the Centre on August 5 abrogated the state’s special status and bifurcated it into two Union territories — J&K and Ladakh.
