Snapping connections
This refers to the phone restrictions on Friday past week. All the mobile networks in Kashmir were jammed since morning. This is not the right way or even ethical if it was for security purpose. As we all know all the hospitals in Kashmir are always filled up with patients and mobile being the main carrier of communication can cost lives. There are so many students studying abroad or even outside Kashmir who got disconnected with their home. We experience it even on 26 January and 15 August and it really becomes near impossible to live without communicating. Leave a lay man aside but the government should think about the people who are in hospitals fighting for their lives. Whatever the situation, communication links must not be snapped.
