Internet services in Kashmir were today snapped for nearly three hours due to snowfall across the Valley.
Both broadband internet services on landlines and mobile internet services were affected this morning as moderate to heavy snowfall was reported from almost all parts of Kashmir, officials said.
Internet services on mobile phones were partially working but at a very slow speed.
"I have not been able to access internet either through my broadband connection or dongle. The telecom companies are not even responding to queries on the reason for disruption of services," Irfan Ahmad, a businessman, said.
However, the internet services were restored after remaining down for three hours.
