4g Mobile Internet Services Restored In Kargil After 145 Days scroll.in

The Ladakh administration on Friday restored 4G mobile internet connectivity in Kargil, after a gap of 145 days. Internet services in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh were blocked on August 5, when India rescinded the special status of the erstwhile state under Article 370 of the Constitution, bifurcated it into two Union Territories, and imposed a lockdown.

However, mobile internet services remain blocked in the Kashmir Valley, NDTV reported. Postpaid mobile phone services were restored across all networks in the Kashmir Valley. Unidentified government officials said that internet services were restored in Kargil as the district has returned to complete normalcy. They added that local religious leaders have appealed to people not to misuse the facility. Broadband internet connections were already functional in Kargil.
