Srinagar, December 27, 2019, Friday

The ban on Internet from Kargil has been lifted 145 days after the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir.

As per the details available, Kargil as well as some areas of Drass and Ladakh have also lost their ban on the internet. After the removal of Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh has been separated from Jammu and Kashmir and made into a Union Territory. Along with Jammu and Kashmir, presidential rule is currently being implemented.

The internet was banned all over the state to prevent any untoward incident. Mobile and broadband services were later launched in Ladakh and now mobile internet has also been launched. Internet service has been launched as Kargil also has a peaceful situation.

The Internet has not been turned on in Jammu and Kashmir yet, in view of the peaceful situation, there is an ongoing process to call for additional security forces to be deployed there.
