Suspension of mobile internet in Manipur extended by two days
IMPHAL: The Manipur government has extended the suspension of mobile internet services in nine districts by two days till November 27, according to a home ministry order. After violence escalated in the northeastern state on November 16, the government suspended services for two days to prevent anti-social elements from spreading content that could cause law and order problems. Since then, this service has been extended several times.
“The state government after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation has decided to continue the suspension of mobile internet services in Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Pherzawl and Jiribam for another two days in the public interest,” the order said.
Internet services on both mobile phones and broadband were suspended on November 16 after violence broke out in the state following the recovery of the bodies of three women and three children.
The state government had lifted the suspension of broadband services on November 19, considering the hardships faced by common people, healthcare institutions, educational institutions and other offices.
