India should restore 4G in Indian Occupied Kashmir with immediate effect
India should restore 4G in Indian Occupied Kashmir with immediate effect
Why this petition matters
Since August 5 2019 India had completely isolated the Kashmir valley from the outside wrold , this includes withdrawal of 4G facilities . This has had serious human rights impacts on the population of the disputed territory. COVID 19 has further induced a quarantine. The virtual isolation results in : that people cannot access health news related to COVID 19; that people cannot access health facilities; doctors are handicapped as they cannot access patients on line ; students cannot study on line ; online classes face difficulties . With quarantine social contacts through internet are also denied thereby completely isolating household ; family members from abroad cannot get updates of their loved ones well beings ; research students cannot receive or submit materials to their respective universities ; population is denied access to online availability of help and news related to COVID 19; population is denied news updates and latest recommendations related to COVID 19 ; and along with quarantine the internet denial adds up to a virtual solitary confinement . This has taken heavy toll on the population , mental health issues have cropped up and people who have loved ones imprisoned are unable to access news related to their welfare on line .
