India's top court orders review of Kashmir internet shutdown
Description
India's Supreme Court on Friday ordered authorities to review the suspension of internet services in Indian-administered Kashmir within a week.
The government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi imposed a crippling communication and security lockdown in the Muslim-majority region before stripping its autonomy on August 5.
The Himalayan region has been without internet since then - the longest such spell imposed in a democracy.
