Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir allowed access to mobile internet on prepaid and postpaid phones from Saturday after a blockade of six months. The services will however be restricted to whitelisted sites only and the internet speed will be limited to 2G. On January 15, mobile internet was partially restored in five districts of Jammu and Kashmir with several riders. 2G mobile connectivity was restored on postpaid mobiles for accessing white-listed sites, including for e-banking in the districts of Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Udhampur and Reasi. Restrictions were imposed in Jammu and Kashmir after the Centre's abrogation of provisions of Article 370 on August 5 last year.
