Mobile Internet Back In Kargil After 145 Days Of Curbs In J&K And Ladakh ndtv.com

145 days after restrictions were imposed and internet communications were blocked in Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh, mobile internet was restored this morning in Kargil, part of the union territory of Ladakh. Internet services, however, are yet to be restored in Kashmir Valley. The restoration of mobile internet connections comes over four months after the government revoked Jammu and Kashmir's decades-old special privileges and split it into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The services were restored because of complete normalcy returning to Kargil district, with no untoward incident taking place over the past four months, officials said. They said local religious leaders have appealed to people not to misuse the facility. Broadband connections were already functional in Kargil.
