JAMMU : In view of prevailing unrest in the Kashmir Valley and fresh protests in Ramban and Doda districts of Jammu region, the government today ordered snapping of mobile internet service as preventive measure.
“The mobile internet service has been temporarily snapped in the Jammu Province to prevent rumor mongers from spreading any kind of hatred messages and provoking pictures and as well as video clips,” a senior police officer here today said.
He said that the service was snapped late last night, adding, “only mobile internet service as it is easily accessible to the youth, has been snapped as preventive measure while broadband services will remain operational.”
The service earlier was restored two weeks ago after the suspension of around 17 days due to tense situation in the Kashmir Valley since July 8 when Hizb Commander Burhan Wani among four militants were killed in a fierce gun battle by the security forces in Pulwama.
Meanwhile protests also broke out in Doda and Ramban districts due to prevailing Kashmir situation.
Bhaderwah also observed bandh by the members of a particular community and a group of people protested in Rajouri on Wednesday to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir. (agencies)
