Supreme Court asks Centre if 4G Internet can be restored in select areas of J&K

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Friday asked the Jammu and Kashmir administration to explore the possibility of restoring 4G services in certain areas of the Union Territory, which sought time for instructions on the issue saying a new Lieutenant Governor of the UT has just been appointed.

Manoj Sinha has been appointed the new LG of Jammu and Kashmir, after GC Murmu resigned from the post on Wednesday night and was appointed Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) on Thursday.

High-speed Internet service in J-K has been suspended since August last year when the Centre announced revocation of its special status and bifurcation of the state into two UTs -- Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
