The Manipur government has suspended internet and mobile data services in five key districts for five days due to a serious law and order situation. The suspension is aimed at preventing the misuse of social media to spread inflammatory content and rumors that could incite public passions and lead to loss of life and property damage. The move follows protests on Saturday night in Imphal East and Imphal West, where demonstrators demanded the release of a leader of the Meitei outfit Arambai Tenggol and clashed with security personnel. The state remains tense amid ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki-Zo communities, which has claimed over 260 lives since May 2023. This event took place on 06/08/2025 at the following location: Manipur, India.
