Rohit Kansal, principal secretary of the Jammu and Kashmir government, said that "all post-paid mobile phones" will be restored and be functional from 12 noon on Oct 14. The move will apply to all 10 districts of the Kashmir valley, he told a press briefing in Srinagar on Saturday. While internet remains blocked, Kansal said internet kiosks were being set up, some specifically for tourists. He also said travel restrictions had been lifted from "more than 99%" of the state. India said the restrictions were aimed at preventing protests and unrest in Kashmir, where it has been fighting multiple insurgencies for decades.
