Farooq Abdullah writes to PM, seeks immediate restoration of 4G internet services in J&K

New Delhi: As the Central government has asked people to work from home in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah on Thursday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and urged him to immediately restore high-speed 4G internet services in Jammu and Kashmir. He wrote to PM Modi for the 4G internet services so that people in the valley can work from home.

“As you are aware, the first case of coronavirus was detected in Kashmir yesterday which has resulted in authorities locking down large parts of the valley,” Farooq Abdullah wrote in his letter to PM Modi.

Farooq, who was last week released from a seven-month-long detention, said in the letter to PM Modi that businesses and students have already been affected by the shutdown after August 5, 2019 and are again suffering because of these restrictions.
