The internet has been restricted in Pakistan-administered Kashmir for over 100 days since protests erupted on June 5th demanding electoral reform and an end to corruption. Mobile data and broadband services were suspended, leading to disruptions in business activities due to unavailability of online banking platforms, as well as delays in academic schedules like entrance exams. The shutdown began after authorities banned a grassroots organization called the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee and cracked down violently on protests, resulting in over 50 deaths according to local estimates.
