J&K administration has completely blocked the VPNs, which were used by the local civilians to access banned social media sites.
According to a Kashmir-based social activist, the administration has banned VPN applications that were widely used in the Valley to access black-listed social media sites.
“Only one VPN is working over the airtel. However, it is punishingly slow,” he said.
The step has been taken as a precautionary measure before establishing the broadband services in the Valley.
Earlier the Centre had stated that the internet restrictions will be lifted on March 4.
