Srinagar: Mobile internet services were on Friday afternoon restored in Kashmir after being suspended on Thursday as a precautionary measure on the occasion of the Republic Day.
Officials said on Friday that the internet services on mobile phones and data cards were suspended on Thursday as part of the security drill for Republic Day.
This year the main Republic Day function was held at Sher-e-Kashmir Cricket Stadium instead of the regular venue — Bakshi Stadium.
The area around the cricket stadium was sealed on Wednesday for full dress rehearsal of the Republic Day Parade.
Traffic police had issued an advisory for movement of vehicles between the city centre and south Kashmir and no vehicle was permitted to move along the Ram Munshi Bagh-TRC stretch of the road during the rehearsal and Republic Day function.
