Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh announced on Friday that internet services will be resumed in the state from today, September 23. Internet services were suspended on May 10 following clashes between the Kuki and Meitei communities in the state.
In a statement, Singh said that the decision to resume internet services was taken after reviewing the overall situation in the state. He appealed to the people to use the internet responsibly and to avoid spreading rumors and hate speeches.
The suspension of internet services in Manipur has caused a lot of inconvenience to the people. Many businesses and educational institutions had suffered due to the suspension. The people also faced difficulties in accessing information and staying connected with their loved ones.
