The blackout is so severe that WhatsApp has removed residents' accounts and kicked them off group chats with their family and friends.

This blackout came around the same time Indian authorities, which allowed the disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir to establish their own laws.

Some of those lines have since been restored for government officials, but most of the residents in the region remain in the dark. Local news outlets still have no way to report the news, residents struggle to reach hospitals and access medicine, and the rest of the region remains totally cut off from the rest of the world.

As of Wednesday, Kashmiris also began unexpectedly disappearing from WhatsApp groups en masse, prompting friends and family outside the region to post screenshots of their unexplained departure on social media.
