Kansal further said that all telephone exchanges in Kashmir valley, barring a few vulnerable areas, might be made functional by Sunday evening.
Since today morning, relaxations on restrictions have been provided in areas under 35 police stations across the Valley.
More than 50,000 landline phones have been made operational on Saturday after services in 17 exchanges of the Kashmir Valley were restored after a period of about 12 days, as part of gradual easing of restrictions in a phased manner.
2G mobile internet services have been restored in Jammu, Reasi, Samba, Kathua and Udhampur districts of Jammu.
Jammu and Kashmir was put under virtual curfew on 5 August when the Modi government scrapped the Article 370 and split the state into two union territories.
