The Indian government suspended mobile phone connections, landlines and the Internet in the region before depriving some autonomy on August 5.
An estimated 4 million mobile phones are in use again, but the prepaid connection has not been restored. However, Internet services in the region continue to be suspended.
Officials say that 80% of landline phones have been working since last month, but many people don't even have a landline connection.
