Omar ‘Kept In The Dark’ About Kashmir Internet Shutdown

Srinagar: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday tweeted his displeasure with his own security agencies when he learned that GPRS Internet services had been shut in Kashmir valley without his knowledge and approval.
“I think the restrictions on the Internet in the valley are an overreaction. Please have them lifted. I don’t think the Internet will provoke trouble… Yes please get GPRS restored immediately & amp; in future the decision to cut Internet services should be discussed with me,” the Chief Minister tweeted at 11.30 a.m.
However, when the authorities failed to act for about five hours, Mr. Abdullah’s tweet disappeared from his wall. Soon, the GPRS services were restored at 5.30 p.m.
