“The restoration of postpaid services is an important step in bringing the situation back on the track in Kashmir but due to the ongoing prepaid and internet gag, we are facing many problems as before the gag was imposed I was able to access various online references via internet which were very helpful but now I rely on couple of GATE entrance preparation guides.” Hooriya Mir, a GATE aspirant.
She said that she was thinking to move Bengaluru in order to access the internet services there which holds a paramount importance in cracking the GATE test but available time is the constraint as she said that, “Shifting to some other place is not as easy as it seems to be.”
She further said that, “If the state administration restores back the prepaid cellular communication and mobile internet services in the valley without further delay, I am sure I will be able to prepare well for my upcoming exams.” (KNO)
