This special committee was to be consisted of the Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, the Secretary, Department of Communications and the Chief Secretary of Occupied Kashmir. As per the court order, this committee was supposed to examine alternatives and determine whether 3G/4G internet speed could be allocated to certain regions on a trial basis. Indian Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla and Chief Secretary of occupied Kashmir BVR Subhrahmanyam have been added in personal capacities as respondents in the contempt petition.
