This trend has been going on since August 2021. Apart from a couple of news articles, there hasn’t been any official order published regarding this. @SFLCin filed an application under the RTI Act to obtain orders of shutdown in November 2021 but haven't received a reply so far.

A concerned citizen sent across the screen recordings in the below video which show that the mobile internet hasn't been working in Srinagar.
