AJK capital to get broadband internet services after months
Fixed-line internet services are set to resume in Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, following a court-ordered restoration after months of disruption. However, mobile data services, including 3G and 4G, will remain suspended in the region.
Why it matters
The restoration of internet access is vital for local education, business, and journalism, though the continued mobile blackout remains a point of contention.
