Low internet speed leaves users fuming

Slowing of the internet speed by the telcos on the orders of the state government following the killing of militant commander Zakir Musa has left the users in Kashmir fuming with the business community complaining of incurring losses.

The state government ordered the telecom companies operating in Kashmir to reduce the internet speed from 4G to 2G in the wake of killing of Zakir Musa.

“It is like living in hell without 4G internet service here in Srinagar Kashmir on 5th continuous day,” Adnan Yousuf, a student wrote on micro-blogging website Twitter.

According to Marouf Khan, a lawyer limiting web access is tantamount to “curtailing” the right of the people to communication.
