Srinagar, Jun 02: Authorities today suspended mobile Internet services in Srinagar and Budgam districts of the Valley and reduced network speeds in south Kashmir as a precautionary measure in the wake of the death of a youth who was hit by a government forces vehicle during clashes between forces and protestors in Nowhtta yesterday.
A police official said that the high-speed mobile data services were barred in four districts – Anantnag, Kulgam, Pulwama and Shopian – of south Kashmir.
Mobile Internet services have been suspended in Srinagar and Budgam districts, he said.
“In south Kashmir, 3G and 4G services have been barred, while 2G services were working,” the official said.
He said the mobile data services have been barred as a “precautionary measure”.
However, the services were restored in the evening.
