Post paid mobile phone services to be restored in Kashmir from Oct 14: Government

All post-paid mobile phone services will be restored in the remaining areas of Jammu and Kashmir from Monday, the government announced on Saturday, more than two months after several clampdowns were enforced as the Centre revoked the region's special status. Restrictions were placed on the movement of people, phone and internet services suspended and hundreds of state leaders placed under house arrest on August 5 disabled over fears of violence. “Having reviewed the situation, a decision has now been taken to restore mobile phone services in the remaining areas of Jammu and Kashmir,” the state's principal secretary Rohit Kansal said during a press conference.
