Handwara, Dec 25 (KNS): A group of students from Handwara town on north Kashmir’s Kupwara district on Wednesday demanded that internet facility to them be provided at ADC office Handwara instead of Deputy Commissioner Office.
“We have to wait for almost a week to get a chance to access internet at the DC’s office. If we have to fill a form or check a mail, how is it possible that we can wait for five or six days,” they told KNS.
The students said they have to travel more than 30 kilometres to reach the DC Kupwara and then they are not getting the turn to access the internet they said there are few computers installed in the office which are not enough for them.
The students said that they have been crippled for the past more than four months due to the snapping of internet services in Kashmir post abrogation of Article 370 on August 5. “In today’s world when everything is dependent on internet, we have been denied the facility,” they said.
While demanding immediate restoration of internet services in the Valley, the students said, “Till the time internet services are restored fully, we demand that instead of DC’s office, we may be provided the net facility at ADC office in Handwara.” (KNS)
