Srinagar, Mar 05 : Following the seven-month-long suspension, the government-run cellular company, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Thursday restored the broadband internet services in the Valley.
According to wire service— the broadband internet services have been restored a day after the government lifted the ban on social media applications here after seven-months. However, the high speed mobile data services as per the government will remain barred till March 17.
The broadband services were suspended in the intervening night of –August 04-05 last year in wake of the trashing of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status (Article 370) and also the bifurcation of the erstwhile State into two Union Territories—J&K and Ladakh.
