SRINAGAR - India said on Saturday it would partially restore mobile phone services in Kashmir on Monday, more than two months after it imposed a communications clampdown in the Himalayan region before stripping it of its special status.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government cut off telephone and internet lines in Jammu and Kashmir ahead of revoking the state’s special rights on Aug. 5, striking down long-standing constitutional provisions for the Muslim-majority region that is also claimed by neighboring Pakistan. The restrictions have gradually been eased. Landlines were allowed to operate last month, and an advisory asking tourists to not travel to the region was lifted earlier this week.
Protests have flared in Kashmir despite the curbs, and critics say India’s move will alienate Kashmiris further and fuel armed resistance.
