Manipur government on Tuesday once again suspended mobile internet services for five days following fresh protests in the state that flared up after two students were brutally murdered by suspected armed men.

Scores of students on Tuesday took to the streets and marched towards Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s residence demanding justice for the victims. The unrest took place after pictures of two Meiti students’ bodies went viral on social media.

“The state government decides to suspend/curb the mobile internet data services, internet/data services through VPN in the territorial jurisdiction of the state of Manipur for five days with immediate effect till 7:45 pm of October 10,” a circular said.

Internet services were recently restored in the state after almost a five-month ban following the violence that broke out in May.

All the schools in the state will also remain closed tomorrow (September 27) in the wake of the protests.
