Mobile, Internet services fully restored in Jammu-Kashmir

September 28, 2015 10:43

The ban on mobile and internet services in Jammu-Kashmir has been lifted after three days. Services had been discontinued in view of apprehensions of misuse of the services by miscreants to create communal tension. The directive by police to all service providers, on the eve of Eid, came amidst the controversy over beef ban.

Fearing communal tension in the backdrop of the High Court directive for implementation of an old law that bans slaughter and selling of beef, the authorities banned internet so that no such videos or pictures were uploaded on social networking sites which could cause communal tension in the state.
