Internet Ban Lifted From 9 Manipur Districts

The decision follows a thorough review of the law and order situation and its impact on internet operations.

In a positive step towards restoring normalcy, the Manipur government has lifted the temporary suspension of internet and data services across several districts. The decision follows a thorough review of the law and order situation and its impact on internet operations.

The suspension has been revoked in Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Kakching, Kangpokpi, Churachandpur, Jiribam, and Pherzawl districts. “Under the power conferred as per Rule 2 of Temporary Suspension of Telecom Services (Public Emergency or Public Safety) Rules, 2017, the Governor of Manipur is pleased to revoke all forms of temporary suspension of internet and data services…with immediate effect,” an order of the home department read.

The restoration of internet services is expected to significantly improve daily life, aiding communication, business, and access to essential online services.

However, authorities have urged users to exercise caution and refrain from activities that could disturb the peace. Any such disruptions could lead to the reimposition of temporary internet suspensions in the future.

It needs to be mentioned that, Internet services – both mobile and broadband – were suspended on November 16 in the nine districts after the Imphal valley witnessed widespread violence with protestors torching and attacking the houses and properties of several legislators.
