Kashmir Govt Lifts Ban From SMS Service

By Fayaz Wani


Srinagar, Dec 27: After the conclusion of elections in restive Kashmir, authorities on Saturday lifted the ban from Short Service Messaging (SMS) services and allowed the mobile operators to resume the services.

The restoration of SMS services has come as a delight to the people, who have been demanding lifting of the ban, which was imposed in August of this year.

Official sources said that the government informed the cellular operators about the lifting of the ban on the SMS service, which came into effect on August 3. "Immediately after receiving the government nod, the cellular operators resumed SMS services in Kashmir," he said.

General Manager (Mobile) BSNL, Kashmir, A K Mittal said, "We had to stop the services after a ban imposed by Kashmir government. The services were resumed on Saturday after the ban was lifted by the government".
