2G mobile internet restored in five Jammu districts, Rajouri to reopen schools from Saturday

Easing restrictions, Governor Satya Pal Malik’s administration on Saturday morning restored mobile internet services across five of the ten districts in otherwise peace Jammu division.

Sources said that 2G internet service has been restored in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur and Reasi districts. In the remaining five districts of Kishtwar, Doda, Ramban, Rajouri and Poonch districts, cellular services including mobile internet continue to remain suspended.

Mobile internet services were suspended on August 4 night before the Centre moved to scrap the special status granted to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370. Nearly a dozen leaders from mainstream political parties in Jammu have been put under house arrest so far.
