Guwahati, May 14: Internet services including mobile data and broadband across the violent-hit Manipur has been suspended for five more days since May 12.
Many residents in the state are reeling under darkness as there is no internet facility to recharge for electricity connections.
“Mobile recharge is another problem that we are facing right now due to the ban on internet service these days. For me, I ask my friend who stays outside Manipur for mobile recharge. However, not everyone has friends or family living outside the state,” a resident said.
However, since the duration for recharge is short, it leads to long queues and many residents often struggle to pay their electricity bills or recharge to get electricity connections.
