J&K: Ban On 4G Internet Services To Continue Except In Ganderbal And Udhampur scroll.in

The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday extended the 4G mobile internet ban till October 21 in all districts, except in Ganderbal and Udhampur. The government cited terror threats and said the decision was “absolutely necessary” for the sovereignty and integrity of India.

Internet services were cut off in Jammu and Kashmir last year on August 5, hours before the Centre revoked Article 370 of the Constitution and split the state into two Union Territories. The low-speed or 2G internet service on mobile phones was restored on January 25, although outages continue to be imposed intermittently amid a complete ban on 4G network.
