The Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) government has announced a phased restoration of internet services across the region, with full broadband and cellular data services set to resume in some districts by Monday, August 31. However, access will remain restricted to educational institutions and banks in others, with no services expected to be restored in Rawalakot and Sudhnoti districts.
The Home Department directed the secretary of the Ministry of Interior to initiate the restoration according to a district-wise schedule, with full broadband and cellular data services to be restored in Neelum, Leepa Valley, Haveli, Bhimber, and Mirpur districts. In Muzaffarabad, Bhimber, and Jhelum Valley, broadband services will be confined to educational institutions and banks.
