SMS?service to be restored in Kashmir from today midnight

Jammu, Dec 31 (ANI): While addressing a press conference in Jammu on December 31, the Principal Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir Rohit Kansal said, "The SMS service will be restored in the Kashmir valley from midnight on Tuesday (December 31)." All network and landline connections were suspended across Jammu and Kashmir on August 05, in view of security concerns in the region following centre's decision to abrogate article 370 that granted special powers to the region. Back on October 14, postpaid mobile services were restored in the remaining parts of JandK. The central government had abrogated article 370 and also bifurcated the former state into Union Territories (UTs) of JandK and Ladakh. The new UTs came into being October 31.
