Internet Shutdown in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Persists Over 100 Days Amid UnrestPreviousNext

Internet services in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir have been suspended or severely restricted for over 100 days since June 5, following protests led by the banned Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee. Despite a court order directing restoration within 10 days, connectivity remains limited in areas with security concerns. The shutdown has disrupted daily life, businesses, education, and access to information amid ongoing political unrest and clashes that have resulted in casualties.
