The Manipur government on Wednesday extended the suspension of mobile internet services for three more days in seven districts, according to an order.

Amid escalating violence, the administration suspended services on November 16 for two days to prevent anti-social elements from spreading content that could create law and order problems. It was extended by two additional days on Monday.

“The State Government, after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation, has decided to continue the suspension of mobile internet services…in the territorial jurisdiction of Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur and Kangpokpi of Manipur for three more days,” he said.

On November 16, the administration imposed the suspension of broadband and mobile Internet services.

However, it lifted restrictions on broadband services on Tuesday, considering the difficulties faced by ordinary citizens, healthcare facilities, educational institutions and other offices.
