Haryana: mobile internet curbs lifted in 2 districts, in place in 5 districts

The Haryana government on Wednesday lifted mobile internet curbs in Panipat and Charkhi Dadri, even as the services will continue to remain suspended in five other districts of the state till 5 pm on February 4. Officials said the mobile internet services were suspended in some districts of the state "to prevent any disturbance of peace and public order” amid a protest by farmers against three agriculture laws. The mobile services suspension has been extended in Kaithal, Jind, Rohtak, Sonipat and Jhajjar. The government's move to suspend mobile internet services in 17 districts earlier and later on keeping these suspended in a few places led to protests by farmers in the state.     Opposition parties had also condemned the curbs on mobile internet in some parts, saying the move would affect the students who were preparing to appear in final exams.
