The letter reinstated the plight of the citizens of #JammuAndKashmir as the region has had more than 365 days of restricted communication. Till 10th August 2020, #India has witnessed 433 #InternetShutdowns in total, out of which 55 have happened in 2020 alone and 106 in 2019.
The restoration of #4G in only a couple of districts in the Union Territory is discriminatory and denies citizens a basic necessity in these times of the pandemic.

The human and economic costs of these restrictions are huge and these actions are not at all proportionate. We hope that the Government will respond to the rightful demand to restore high speed Internet access in the region.

The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has 20+ districts and restoring high speed in one district each in Jammu and Kashmir region is not enough with a review only happening after 2 months. #LetTheNetWork
A Year of #InternetRestrictions
An #Internetshutdown is more than just a disconnection from Whatsapp, Facebook or Twitter; it means limiting access to knowledge and learning opportunities.

Confined to their homes, students have found it challenging to study online with the painstakingly slow internet connections, which also faces frequent outages.

With limited connectivity, Higher Education is struggling event more. Students who have to prepare for competitive exams can't attend coaching classes physically due to the #Pandemic & the Internet is not fast enough for online classes.

The current pandemic that we are living under is a unique paradox, a virtual civilization that allows us to interact with each other and normal civilization that is restricted to our doorstop. - @ManishTewari

The Bench comprising of Justice NV Rammana, R Subhash Reddy and BR Gavai will be passing an order concerning restoration of 4G in Jammu and Kashmir to fight COVID-19. Currently, the valley is facing a complete internet blackout since 6-5-2020 due to an encounter. #LetTheNetWork

When asked by the court that why is internet speed restricted to 2G only, the government has said in its reply that Internet is not a fundamental right as well as that the state can curb freedoms under 19(1)(g).

The response was to the PIL filed by the Foundation for Media Professionals that challenged the J&K government order of 26 March, restricting the internet speed to 2G in the Union territory.
