Indian authorities say around 4 million post-paid cellphone connections will be restored in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Monday.
Government spokesperson Rohit Kansal addresses a press conference, sits beside him in Srinagar, Indian controlled Kashmir, Saturday, Oct. 12 2019. The Indian government on Saturday announced that all post paid mobile phone will be restored on Oct. 14, 70 days after a communication blockade was put in place in disputed Kashmir.
Rohit Kansal, a government spokesman, said that internet services will remain suspended for now. Authorities fear that insurgents and separatists will use the internet to provoke anti-India protests in the region. Tensions in Kashmir, which is divided between Pakistan and India but claimed by both in its entirety, have escalated since early August, when India downgraded the semi-autonomy of Indian-administered Kashmir and imposed the lockdown.
