Manipur govt suspends internet services in two more hill districts

Dibrugarh: Manipur government has suspended internet services in two more hill districts of Kangpokpi and Kamjong, adjoining violence-hit Ukhrul district.

This comes at a time when the Manipur Police has posted on X, "It has come to our notice that certain messages are being circulated on social media platforms alleging that members of a particular community are planning to attack Chassad Kuki village. The information is completely false, baseless and unfounded... Legal action will be initiated against individuals and handles found spreading misinformation or rumours with intent to incite fear or disturb public order."

On Wednesday, Manipur CM Y Khemchand Singh visited internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Jiribam district, bordering southern Assam.


"Jiribam can be Manipur's Mumbai. For the business to flourish, peace has to come first," the CM said.
