Imphal, December 18
Manipur Government has ordered immediate suspension of internet services in Imphal West district two days after three blasts rocked the city.
Imphal West’s district magistrate has asked telecom operators to suspend mobile data service until further orders. Security has also been heightened across the district.
Major areas of the state capital fall in Imphal West district, where the three blasts occurred within a period of an hour on Friday evening.
The Cabinet decision came after analysis of the prevailing law and order situation and to halt spreading of rumours through social networking sites, officials said.
The district witnessed a shutdown on Saturday to protest militant attacks on Manipur Police in different parts of the state in the past few days. Three policemen were killed and 14 others wounded in the attacks. — PTI
