Imphal, June 20: The Manipur High Court directed the state authorities to provide limited internet services to the public in some designated places under the control of the state authorities.

The High Court’s decision comes days after the PIL filed by different individuals.

The high court has taken the hardship faced by the public into consideration, especially with regard to the ongoing admission process of the students and to enable the public for carrying out their urgent and essential services directed by the state authorities.

The HC also directed service providers of Vodafone, Idea, Jio, BSNL and Airtel to file a short affidavit explaining whether there is any feasibility of providing limited internet services to the public by blocking social media website and by safeguarding the concern of the state government to maintain law and order in the state.
