IMPHAL, 5 Dec: The Manipur government on Thursday extended the suspension of mobile internet for two days in nine districts of the state till 7 December.
An order issued by the home department said that the suspension has been extended in Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Pherzawl and Jiribam till 5.15 pm of 7 December.
“The state government after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation and its correlation with the general operation of internet services has decided to continue suspension of mobile internet and mobile data services, including VSATs and VPN services…,” it said.
Internet services have been temporarily suspended since 16 November, after violence broke out in the state following the recovery of the bodies of three women and three children in Jiri and Barak rivers in Manipur and Assam, respectively.
The Manipur government had conditionally lifted the suspension on broadband services on 19 November, considering the hardships faced by common people, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and other offices. (PTI)
