Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Saturday announced that the internet ban will be lifted in the state from today (September 23), nearly five months after they were snapped after ethnic violence erupted in the northeastern state on May 3.
Addressing a press conference here, Singh said, "The government had suspended mobile internet services on May 3 to check the spread of fake news, propaganda and hate speech. However, with the improvement of the situation, mobile internet services will be restored across the state from today."
