The NDPI president appealed the people of Jammu to show their unity by coming on your roof tops today and tomorrow at 6 pm and beat thalis to make realize to administration that Jammu is one and will not tolerate discrimination any more.
Emphasizing the need to immediately start 4G internet services in J&K, the NDPI chief said, “With limited and restricted access to the internet by allowing only 2G speed in the UT, patients and doctors are unable to access latest information, advisories, and guidelines”. He termed 4G internet as an indispensable tool in the fight against COVID-19.
Gupta threatened to intensify the agitation if the 4G internet services are not restored immediately.
