Imphal, Dec 4: The Manipur government has extended the suspension of mobile internet services in nine districts for two more days, with the restriction now set to continue until 5:15 p.m. on December 5.

The affected districts include Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur, Kangpokpi, Pherzawl, and Jiribam, according to an order issued by the Home Department on Tuesday.

“The state government, after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation and its correlation with the general operation of internet services, has decided to continue the suspension of mobile internet and mobile data services, including VSATs and VPN services,” the order stated.

The suspension was first implemented on November 16 following the discovery of the bodies of three women and three children in the Jiri and Barak rivers, sparking violence across the state.
