Internet suspension in Manipur extended till Nov 23
Imphal: The suspension of Internet was extended for another three days till November 23 in seven districts of Manipur
According to Kashmir Media Service, amid escalating violence, the administration suspended the services for two days to prevent anti-social elements from spreading content that might create law and order problems.
“The state government after reviewing the prevailing law and order situation decided to continue the suspension of mobile internet services in the territorial jurisdiction of Imphal West, Imphal East, Kakching, Bishnupur, Thoubal, Churachandpur and Kangpokpi of Manipur till November 23 ” it said.
Meanwhile, the Manipur Police detained five persons during search operations in hill and valley districts.
In a display of rare empathy, a Kuki group called Kuki Organisation for Human Rights Trust (KOHUR) in a statement condemned all kinds of violence against all communities, including the killing of six members of a Meitei family and sought to know why violence escalates in the state whenever CM Biren Singh’s matters come up for hearing in the Supreme Court.
Taragi Cheisu, a unified Meitei foundation, also condemned the Jiribam killings, labelling it a gross violation of International Humanitarian Laws (IHL) and Indian law. Cheisu also denounced the killing of a Hmar woman in Jiribam on November 7, calling for justice for all victims, regardless of their community.
