New Delhi: The apex court on Friday asked the Jammu and Kashmir Government to explore possibilities of starting 4G internet service in some areas. The Jammu and Kashmir administration, while seeking time to take instructions on starting high-speed internet service, said that a new Lt. Governor has been appointed in the Union Territory.

After the resignation of Girish Chandra Murmu from the post of LG, Manoj Sinha has been made the new LG. In August last year, the Center announced the revocation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and divided it into two union territories. Since then, high-speed internet service in Jammu and Kashmir is closed. The court told the administration that nothing has changed with the change of LG, as a special committee remains to look into the matter. A bench of Justices NV Raman, Justice R Subhash Reddy and Justice BR Gavai listed the contempt petition of the NGO Foundation for Media Professionals for 11 August after a brief hearing.

The organization has appealed to initiate contempt proceedings against the Union Home Secretary and the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir for willfully disregarding compliance of the court's May 11 order. On behalf of the Jammu and Kashmir administration, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the bench that they need to take instructions as the LG of the Union Territory has changed and the new LG has taken charge yesterday.
