Post-Paid Mobile Phones Likely To Resume In Kashmir From Saturday indiatoday.in

Post-paid mobile services in Kashmir are likely to resume from Saturday, 68 days after they were shut down following the Centre’s decision to abrogate Jammu and Kashmir’s special status, officials said here Friday. They made it clear that the subscribers will have to wait for some more time for the Internet services to resume in the valley. The officials said a decision has been taken that post-paid mobile services will be resumed in the beginning and the pre-paid services will be resumed later. They have also stressed that proper verification of customer is undertaken for post-paid mobile services.

Travel association bodies had approached the administration, saying that no tourist would like to come to the valley were no mobile phones working. The mobile services in Jammu and Kashmir were shut down on August 5 after the Centre announced in New Delhi the abrogation of the special status guaranteed to the state under Article 370 of the Constitution.
