SRINAGAR, INDIA - Text messaging services were blocked in Indian-administered Kashmir just hours after being restored when a truck driver was killed by suspected militants and his vehicle set ablaze, the authorities said on Tuesday .
Indian authorities had only restored call and text services for mobile phones on Monday, following a 72-day blackout in the restive northern territory imposed after New Delhi scrapped the region's semi-autonomous status. The authorities said SMS services were cut on Monday night, following the attack on the driver of a truck carrying apples in Shopian.
Many orchard owners say they are refusing to harvest this year to protest against the government's move to scrap Kashmir's autonomy.
