The Government of India banned internet connectivity in Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019 when it abrogated Article 370 that accorded a special status to state but restored 2G internet services on January 25, 2020, with an ordered banning all social media sites to curb their misuse by miscreants for propagating false information and rumours in the state.
