The government in occupied Kashmir said the landline telephone service had been restored for a month in a near-total communications blackout and the security blockade was imposed, as the Hindu government led by Hindu nationalists stripped the cashmere of constitutional rights that they had for seven decades through a hasty presidential order. August 5. <\/p>\n

On Thursday, people lined up in offices or homes that have landlines to try to contact family and friends after the long wait, but many were unable to communicate after repeated attempts.<\/p>\n

"Our landlines have been restored, but we still can't talk to people. It's frustrating. I've tried to call people since morning, but I'm not arriving," Syed Musahid said in Srinagar.<\/p>\n

Many cashmere living outside the region also said they were having trouble getting in touch with their families within occupied Kashmir.<\/p>\n

"I kept trying hundreds of times to contact my family in Kashmir, and only then my call was made," said Bint-e-Ali, a cashmere from Bengaluru.<\/p>\n

She said she still has not been able to speak with her sick grandmother in Srinagar.<\/p>\n

"I hope to live to tell this horrifying story to our next generation about how India didn't even let us talk to our family and friends," he said.<\/p>\n

The government said it suspended communications on August 5 to prevent the spread of rumors after article 370 was revoked. The suspension has almost completely isolated Kashmir residents.<\/p>\n

Srinagar resident Firdous Ahmad said that the restoration of the fixed service "definitely gives a sigh of relief," but he also hoped that Internet and cell phone data services, which are more used, will be restored soon.<\/p>\n

the Press Trust of India<\/em> the reported restrictions had been lifted in the daytime movements in the disputed region. However, the control points remain in place.<\/p>\n

Protests over Indian movements have occurred sporadically in occupied Kashmir and were stifled by security forces that shot pellets and tear gas.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n
