Postpaid mobile services to resume in Kashmir from Monday

TIL Desk/National/Srinagar/ In a major step in easing the 69 days lockdown in the Kashmir valley, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Saturday announced restoration of all postpaid mobile phone services from Monday noon.   

Government spokesman and senior IAS officer Rohit Kansal told that all postpaid mobile phones will be resorted from October 14 noon.            

The services were likely to be resumed on Saturday but a last minute technical hitch led to deferring of the resumption of services. The subscribers will have to, however, wait for some more time for Internet services to resume in the Valley, they said.           

The state administration has been examining various options with regard to suspension of mobile phone services which have come in for severe criticism for causing hardships to some seven million residents of the Valley.
