Srinagar- Internet services on mobile devices were suspended across Kashmir for several hours on I-Day Saturday but mobile phone services functioned as usual.
Mobile internet services were cut in the early hours of the morning as stringent security arrangements were put in place for Independence Day celebrations across the Valley, a police official said.
Though the services were snapped as a precautionary measure, mobile phone services, which used to be suspended for the duration of the Independence Day ceremony, functioned as usual, he added.
The internet services were restored later in the day as the official function was over at Sher-e-Kashmir cricket stadium here, the official said.
Suspension of mobile phone services and internet on mobile devices as part of the security drill have become routine since 2005, apart from a few occasions.
