Manipur government has sent a strongly-worded letter to telecom provider Airtel for alleged leakage of internet services in some parts of the State.
T. Ranjit, Commissioner of the Home Department, Manipur, in an official letter to the Airtel authority demanded an explanation on why appropriate actions should not be taken up, among others, to ban the service in Manipur for violating the instructions of the Manipur government as established by the “leakage” of the internet services in some parts of the State. In May, the State government had ordered suspension of internet services fearing misuse the facilities to spread hate speech and fake videos at a time when Manipur is witnessing ethnic clashes.
