Srinagar, Dec 9 (UNI) Mobile internet services of all cellular companies, including the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), were suspended on Sunday for security reasons in this summer capital.
The services were suspended as precautionary measure, following an encounter, which ensued on Saturday after the forces launched a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) at Mujgund in Srinagar outskirts.
However, broadband internet service of BSNL and point-to-point service of other providers were functioning, though with very slow speed.
The authorities have directed all cellular companies to suspend 3G, 4G and 2G mobile internet services in Srinagar, to prevent spreading of any rumour on social media.
