4G services may be restored soon in remaining 18 districts of J&K

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, on Thursday gave hints on restoration of high speed 4G internet services in the remaining eighteen districts of the Union Territory (UT) soon.

“I know 4G is working in just two districts of J&K. There is a committee examining the issue. Hopefully, there will be good news soon in the coming days,” he said while replying a question at a press conference in winter capital Jammu.

J&K witnessed a complete communication blackout for weeks after the Centre stripped it of its special status and split it up into two UTs on August 5, 2019. Though landline and mobile phone services have been restored fully, the high speed internet services continue to remain suspended in 18 out of the twenty districts of the UT.
