WIRELESS CONNECTION ESTABLISHED: Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami said wireless connection has been established between the Jammu and Kashmir House, located in Delhi's Prithviraj Road, and the state secretariat in Srinagar as telecommunication line is completely snapped. "We are sending some more VSAT systems and equipments to help restore the mobile phone networks in the valley. A few towers of Aircel (about 10-12) are functioning but those are not enough," he said adding the Army has also given a few satellite phones to state authorities.
