Internet services suspended till June 25 in violence-hit Manipur

The Manipur government on Tuesday extended the extended internet ban across the state till June 25. 

Earlier in the day, the Manipur high court had directed the state government to provide limited internet services as the situation remained tense in the state. 

The order was issued by Justices Ahanthem Bimol Singh & A Guneshwar Sharma



while hearing a bunch of Public Interest Litigations seeking restoration of internet services in the state on Friday. It was, however, made known Tuesday, advocates said.

Internet ban has been continuing in the state since May 3 in the wake of violence between the Kukis and Meities following a high court direction to consider granting Scheduled Tribe status to the Meities.
