Manipur Violence: Internet Shut After Kids Killed

Mobile internet services have been suspended for five days in Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, and Kakching districts following a suspected rocket attack that claimed the lives of two children and injured several others.

The deaths sparked massive demonstrations across the Manipur valley, with students and local residents defying security cordons to demand immediate action against the perpetrators and increased protection from the central government.

In response to the unrest and the potential for "inflammatory content" to spread on social media, the state government enforced a strict internet shutdown and deployed additional security forces to maintain law and order.

The Manipur government has officially dismissed "malicious rumors" circulating on social media which suggested that security personnel had killed protesters, clarifying that authorities are exercising maximum restraint while managing the volatile situation.
