Overview

• Mobile internet, broadband and calling remained disrupted across Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday after heavy rain damaged optical-fibre links at multiple locations.
• The outage spans major operators including Airtel, Vodafone, Jio and BSNL, with many phones showing no signal and only a trickle of data reported on Jio mobile by the chief minister.
• The Communications Ministry directed all telecom providers to activate intra circle roaming across the union territory immediately, with the measure in place until September 2 or further instructions.
• Telecom teams have been dispatched to locate multiple fibre cuts and operators said they are working to restore networks as quickly as possible.
• Landslides and flooding have intensified the disruption, with six people injured on the Mata Vaishno Devi route and the pilgrimage suspended.
