4G Update : No 4G to Other Districts only Udhampur & Ganderbal continue on Trial
Next Review Date : 30 Sep 2020
Whereas, in pursuance of the recommendations made by the Special Committee in its meeting dated 10.08.2020 for considering calibrated easing of restrictions in limited and comparatively less sensitive geographical areas, read with the reports of the law enforcement agencies, vide Government Order No: Home91(TSTS) of 2020 dated 16.08.2020, the following directions relating to high speed internet services in various districts were issued:
Mobile data Services: The high speed mobile data services in the districts of Ganderbal and Udhampur shall be restored forthwith, on trial basis, while in rest of the districts, the internet speed shall continue to be restricted to 2G only; and
Whereas, the law enforcement agencies have furnished credible inputs that the terror modules operating in various parts of the UT of J&K, with active support from across the border as well as separatists/anti-national elements from within, are making sustained efforts to provoke sentiments of the gullible youth and lure them into terrorist organizations to fill the vacuum created by the killing of many terrorists. Also, the agencies have reported infiltration attempts by terrorists, along the LoC and the IB, and apprehension of facilitation of these attempts if high speed mobile data services are restored. They have also indicated potential of misuse of high speed data services in disturbing public order.
