Kashmir Despatch News
Srinagar : Authorities on Sunday restored Short Message Service (SMS) to Jio and Airtel networks.
Earlier this week authorities made broadband services available in 80 government run hospitals and also SmS services were restored in BSNL connections.
The announcement to this effect was made by Rohit Kansal, the Jammu and Kashmir Principal Secretary.
All landline and internet connections across Jammu and Kashmir were shut down on August 5, as the government announced its move to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution, thus revoking the region’s special status and splitting it into two separate union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Services were suspended, as per authorities, to prevent ‘miscreants’ from mobilising people against the government’s move.
