Mobile phone services were restored in the Kashmir Valley on Friday night after remaining suspended for three days in the wake of the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Riyaz Naikoo in an encounter with security forces on Wednesday, officials said.
However, the mobile internet remained suspended across the valley, the officials said.
The mobile phone services have been restored across the Kashmir valley, they said, adding the decision was taken in view of the improving situation.
