Internet services restored in eight AJK districts, restrictions remain in two

Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Iftikhar Gilani has announced the return of internet access across the region after months of disruption. Profit reported that the AJK government has ordered services restored in eight districts, and four of them now have full access. The move affects students, freelancers and business owners who depend on connectivity.

In the remaining four districts, broadband and Wi-Fi will be available only at educational institutions. Under an order from the AJK Home Department, internet services remain fully shut off in Sudhnoti and Rawalakot, both in Poonch division.

Because the restoration is staggered, residents will face different levels of access depending on their district. The restrictions in Sudhnoti and Rawalakot mean that people there remain without internet services for now.
