Covid19: Demand For High-Speed Internet in J&K
After Jammu and Kashmir reported a fresh case of Coronavirus, the chorus for the restoration of high-speed 4G internet services has grown.
The administration has restricted the mobile Internet speed to 2G services, citing security reasons.
Several people, including Lok Sabha Member Farooq Abdullah, Srinagar Mayor Junaid Mattu and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti’s daughter Iltija Mufti, have called for the restoration of the services to help raise awareness about the virus.
The government in a recent order said the low-speed internet will continue in the union territory till 26 March “in the interest of sovereignty and integrity” of the country.
