A PIL was filed before the SC seeking restoration of 4G services in J&K. The UTs currently receive 2G internet services.
The PIL claims that amidst the COVID-19 outbreak and the nationwide lockdown, 4G internet is the need of the hour. It also alleges that restrictions on the speed of internet services strip J&K of fundamental rights granted under the Constitution of India.
J&K has not received proper internet services since August 2019.
