Postpaid mobile services in the remaining areas of Jammu and Kashmir will be functional from 12 pm today. “Having reviewed the situation, a decision has now been taken to restore mobile phone services in the remaining areas of Jammu and Kashmir. All postpaid mobile services, irrespective of the telecom operator will stand restored and be functional from noon, Monday, 14 October 2019. This will cover all 10 districts of Kashmir province,” Rohit Kansal, Principal Secretary, Jammu & Kashmir had said on Saturday.

All network and landline connections were suspended across Jammu and Kashmir on 5 August, in view of security concerns in the region following Centre’s decision to abrogate Article 370. Although the landline network was restored in phases, restrictions remained on the usage of mobile devices in various parts of the Valley. Kansal, on Saturday, had said that landline facilities have been fully restored in the region and mobile services are also back in some parts.
