Manipur internet curbs: Naga students’ strike call affects work at govt. offices in hill districts

For the second day on Wednesday, almost all government offices in the Naga inhabited hill districts remain deserted. This is in response to the call given by All Naga Students’ Association Manipur (ANSAM) which had demanded the restoration of the internet services in the “peace” areas.

The State government had  suspended internet services following information that some “anti-social elements” have been the social media platform to “spread fake news and images” to stoke the communal violence.

The government sources said that the efforts to restore peace and normality would be hampered if the “anti-social elements” got a free hand.
