Srinagar, July 24 (Newswire): In occupied Kashmir, the residents of North Kashmir's Baramulla district are facing tremendous problems due to absence of cellular services snapped last month following the killing of two innocent youth by Indian police.
The services of different companies were suspended in the district on June 28 by the occupation authorities. Thousands of subscribers in Baramulla, Sopore, Sangrama, Rafiabad and other adjoining areas have been running from pillar to post to know when their mobiles would start ringing again.
"The occupation authorities have punished the entire population to hide their own failures," the local people while talking to the media persons said. "They should have blocked services of those persons whom they considered threat to law and order situation," they added.
A wave of anger has swept among people in North Kashmir over the ban, which has badly hampered fruit business in the territory.
Khursheed Ahmed, a fruit grower, said that the businessmen had no idea about the market trends of apples in other parts of the territory due to the arbitrary and illogical move.
"The entire economy of people in this region is dependent on fruit industry. It seems that government is hell-bent upon destroying our economy by snapping the mobile services," he said, adding, "If the services are not restored forthwith we will take to roads."
Meanwhile, the cellular companies have disconnected thousands of mobile phones in the Valley.
