23. At   the   same   time,   the   Court   is   also   cognizant   of   the   concerns relating to the ongoing pandemic and the hardships that may be faced by the citizens. It may be noted that in the earlier judgment of  Anuradha Bhasin  (supra) this Court had directed that, under the   usual   course,   every   order   passed   under   Rule   2(2)   of   the Telecom Suspension Rules restricting the internet is to be placed before a Review Committee which provides for adequate procedural and substantive safeguards to ensure that the imposed restrictions are narrowly tailored. However, we are of the view that since the issues   involved   affect   the   State,   and   the   nation,   the   Review Committee which consists of only State level officers, may��not be in a   position   to   satisfactorily   address   all   the   issues   raised.   We, therefore,   find   it   appropriate   to   constitute   a   Special   Committee comprising of the following Secretaries at national, as well as State, level   to   look   into   the   prevailing   circumstances   and   immediately determine the necessity of the continuation of the restrictions in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir: a. The Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs (Home Secretary), Government of India. 17
