In district Udhampur and Ganderbal, the Government had restored 4G services few months ago. This facility will, however, continue in these two J&K districts.

In view of the available inputs and taking note of the misuse of social media applications in carrying out terror activisties, the Government has decided to continue restrictions on high- speed telecommunication services in 18 districts of J&K till December 11, 2020, unless modified earlier.
