 This is Akeel Mukhtar, I'm from Pulwama, I'm pursuing beard from Maxwell College of Education. Actually, I'm here after spending 40 hours in Banihal. The reason why I was at Banihal was to access internet. I had to submit scholarship forms and I had to unlock my mobile phone, which accidentally got locked by me few days back. For that purpose, I needed internet. I tried to visit DC Complex Pulwama where internet access was available, but that access was only available for limited purposes and limited time. But for this thing, I needed more access and more time. And when I reached DC Complex, I found people standing in longer queues. They were there for longer periods of time and there I met a friend who gave me an idea that we should go to Banihal where internet is available. Not internet, broadband is available. Then we planned to go to Banihal the next day. And the next day, on 20th of December, we woke up early in the morning, traveled some distance by foot and somewhere car and finally arrived at the station Amantipora. Then we left for Banihal at 9.50. And after a horrific journey of 8 hours, we reached Banihal at about 3.30. I suppose 3.30. I don't know the actual time, but it was 3.30. And when I reached Banihal, I found... I tried to get the access of internet and I finally found an internet cafe. When I went to that internet cafe, I found many Kashmiris there. The problem was same, somewhere trying to get registered for NEET, somewhere trying to get their scholarship form submitted. And I was one among them. After completing my work, in about 20 to 25 minutes, I wanted to leave back to the home. And when I tried to leave back to the home, I got to know that the road was closed and there was no train back to the home at that time. Then I had to make a plan to stay at Banihal. And finally, I wasn't having an a box in my wallet. I finally found that truck. That truck owner accidentally known me. He gave me a lift and I stood there for the whole night. Bhatt Musadi Kriyaz, pursuing honors in biotechnology, leaving the home on 20th of December at 7 o'clock towards the Avanti Pora Railway Station to find the access, internet access at Banihal. Internet which turns the whole world into the global age and is the just source of information in the world is still under coma from last five months in our valley. The student community suffers a lot due to this barricade. You know, it's time to get registered for the NEET examination, which is a medical entrance exam. Students who are applying for the NEET is standing long in the queues for five to six hours, which is, you know, quite terrific. It's quite, you know, horrific. It's quite horrific. You know, I just go to the Banihal for getting the registration for the NEET. So, I spent my, it was the travelling from the Avanti Pora to Banihal was totally horrific. I spent my, I spent whole of the night in the truck cabin. It was too cold. I didn't get food and I didn't have enough money. I stuck it for long eight hours in the, you know, Banihal Railway Station. And when we travelled from the Avanti Pora to Banihal, we were disgustingly throwing out at the Anatnag Railway Station and we just had to wait for the two and a half hour. We totally disturbed our event plan, our, you know, outline of the, you know, outline of the trip. So, I request government to get access as soon as possible in our valley so we easily get registered for the NEET. The thing that I could have done at home, within just 15 minutes, I had to spend 40 hours, 40 hours to do that thing, to do that job. This is pretty miserable. The internet, which turns out to be the registered source of information in the whole world is blocked here in Kashmir from past four and a half months. At the end, I would like to request to Mr. Lieutenant Governor and Mr. Prime Minister kindly restore the internet as soon as possible because this is the most important thing that the students and other people need in today's world.
