The Manipur government has extended the suspension of mobile internet and data services in seven districts for an additional two days due to ongoing law and order challenges. This directive, issued by Commissioner N. Ashok Kumar, will keep the suspension in place until 5:15 p.m. on Monday, November 25, after it initially began at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday.
The districts affected by this internet blackout include Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Kakching, Kangpokpi, and Churachandpur, covering both the valley and hill regions. Authorities assert that this measure is crucial to prevent the spread of misinformation and maintain public peace during a period of heightened tensions.
Residents in these districts are facing difficulties due to limited digital connectivity as the state government endeavors to stabilize the situation. The decision underlines the priority to maintain public safety and control potentially disruptive narratives that could exacerbate the current situation. As the state manages these challenges, the public’s patience and cooperation are being called upon to restore normalcy without digital disruptions.
