The restrictions were lifted in phases from the valley as the situation improved with the passage of time.
Mobile services were restored in Kashmir on Monday, but the SMS facility was snapped once again later that night due to apprehensions of the services being misused.
Internet services across all platforms - continued to be snapped in the valley, they added.
