Srinagar: In a major step in easing the 69 days lockdown in the Kashmir valley, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Saturday announced restoration of all postpaid mobile phone services from Monday noon. Government spokesman and senior IAS officer Rohit Kansal told reporters that all postpaid mobile phones will be resorted from October 14 noon. The subscribers will have to, however, wait for some more time for Internet services to resume in the Valley, officials said. Travel association bodies had approached the administration, saying that no tourist would like to come to the valley where no mobile phones working. In Jammu, the communication system was restored within days of the blockade and even mobile Internet was started around mid-August.
