Manipur Government Extends Internet Suspension Sparking Outrage Amid Law and Order Crisis<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The districts affected by this suspension are Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Kakching, Kangpokpi, Churachandpur, Jiribam, and Pherzawl. While the ban was initially scheduled to end at 5:15 PM on December 1, 2024, it has now been extended to December 3, 2024, at the same time. This measure is part of efforts under the Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services (Public Emergency or Public Safety) Rules, 2017, to maintain public safety and harmony.<\/span><\/p>\n

While broadband services like ILL and FTTH remain operational, they do so under certain conditions specified in earlier orders from November 18, 2024. The government has stated that exemptions from the mobile internet suspension could be granted on a case-by-case basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Authorities have emphasized that these preventive orders are necessary given the urgency of the situation. Compliance with the directives is mandatory, and any violations will be met with legal consequences. Public awareness campaigns through various media outlets are underway to ensure that citizens are informed about these restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

In related news, several students fell ill due to suspected food poisoning at the Assam Medical College hostel, illustrating ongoing public health challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n
