2G Access To 153 Websites Allowed For Post-Paid Mobiles in Two Kashmir Districts, Across Jammu thewire.in

The government of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), in consultation with the security agencies on Saturday, has decided to restore 2G speed mobile internet services on post-paid mobiles across Jammu division and in two districts of Kashmir valley, allowing people there to have extremely limited access to the Internet for the first time since August 5, 2019. The government order also includes a ‘white-list’ of 153 websites to which internet access will be limited. The order issued by the home department of the newly carved Union Territory said there was no decision, as of now, on the remaining districts of Kashmir by the government, even as the situation largely remained peaceful after the scrapping of the special status of the erstwhile J&K state. Two districts of Kashmir – Kulgam and Bandipora – can avail 2G internet services from Saturday until January 24, according to the order.
