Srinagar, May 5 : Mobile internet for all cellular companies, including Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), was suspended on Saturday as a precautionary measure in the summer capital, Srinagar.
The services were suspended as a precautionary measure following an encounter which ensued between the militants and security forces at Rampora Chattabal area of the city.
However, broadband internet service of BSNL and point to point service of other providers were functioning normally but with a very slow speed.
The authorities have directed all cellular companies to suspend 3G, 4G and 2G mobile internet services till further order in Srinagar to prevent spread of any rumour on social media. But, the suspension of the facility has led to more rumours in the city, where protests are being reported at many places. UNI
