Ecommerce softens lockdown everywhere else but Kashmir netpreneurs suffer without 4G

Srinagar: Many online businesses in Kashmir are on the verge of closing down after the Supreme Court last week refused to direct for restoration of high speed internet. Iqra, a young woman who started her e-tail business in clothing in 2015, wants the government to restore 4G internet in the Union territory if it really wants to help the businesses.

“It is not only the owner who needs high speed internet to carry out business, but customers as well who check my page and buy products online,” the 28-year-old told PTI.
