Amid protests by tribal students, the BJP-led government in Manipur suspended mobile Internet services for five days across the State from Sunday morning.
The authorities in Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts also clamped orders prohibiting the assembly of four or more people for two months.
In an order issued late on Saturday night, the State Home Department said mobile Internet services had to be suspended in view of some anti-social elements fanning communal passions and circulating hate speeches through social media platforms.
