Bharti Airtel resumes postpaid mobile services in J&K, waives of one-time rental

New Delhi: Bharti Airtel today said it had resumed postpaid mobile services in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) on the orders of the authorities. The service provider has waived off rental charges for the period the services were suspended.

“Mobile phone connections, to be specific, all postpaid mobile phone connections, irrespective of service provider, will resume from Monday – October 14th at noon. This will happen across the state, in all 10 districts of Kashmir,” J&K Principal Secretary Rohit Kansal had said at a news briefing Monday.

The Centre had ended J&K’s special status on August 5 and split it into two union territories (UT) of J&K and Ladakh, saying the move would help ensure that people of the state get the same constitutional benefits as the rest of the country and spur development.
