On 11th May 2020, the Supreme Court had ordered that a special committee has to be formed comprising of The Home Secretary to the GoI, The Communications secretary and the Principal Secretary to the Union Territory of J&K to look into restoring 4G internet connection in the UT.
J&K had faced unprecedented communication blackout since August 4th, 2019. 2G internet speed was restored in the valley only after 213 days. During this time, the COVID-19 pandemic hit-making it essential for the region to have 4G internet speed.

SFLC.in defines internet shutdowns as "a Government-imposed disablement of access to the Internet as a whole within a particular locality or localities for any duration of time" @APC_News @CYRILLA @gayatrikl
Internet shutdowns are generally instituted as a measure to curb violence & unrest in conflict ridden areas. Explanation offered by authorities is that the Internet makes it easier to spread rumors and false propaganda, making it more likely for violence to break out. @APC_News
There are primarily two acts under which Internet Shutdowns can be imposed by the government.
-Section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code
-Section 5(2) of the Indian Telegraph Act coupled with Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services Rules which were notified in 2017. @CYRILLA
