Srinagar:
Mobile internet services were restored in Kashmir valley today after remaining suspended for four days as a precautionary measure after the clashes in Kishtwar district.
The services were snapped on Sunday as rumours about clashes in Kishtwar and other riot-hit areas in Jammu region started doing rounds on social networking sites.
The internet services on mobile phones and mobile internet connections started functioning this evening.
Police officials said the services were suspended as mobile internet was misused by miscreants to fan trouble in the valley in the past.
The mobile services were snapped in the wake of hanging of Parliament attack convict Mohammad Afzal Guru and in the aftermath of Gool firing incident in which four persons were killed.
