Imphal, October 05 2023:
Expressing dismay at the imposition of internet ban in the entire state of Manipur, Naga Students' Union Chandel (NSUC) has demanded immediate restoration of mobile internet services in Chandel district.
In a release, NSUC president SK Joseph conveyed that Chandel district has always remained a peaceful zone even though some areas of Manipur have been engulfed in violence.
"We understand the imperative of the government in taking necessary measures to curb the ongoing crisis but imposing mobile internet ban in peaceful zone like Chandel defies rationality".
"Mention may be made that the people of Chandel have put on great efforts and sacrifices in maintaining peace and tranquillity in the district.
Yet, owing to the internet ban, our efforts have gone in vain as we have been unnecessarily victimised by depriving internet service which is our basic need these days," it asserted.
NSUC continued that people from all walks of life in general and students, competitive exam aspirants and entrepreneurs in particular have been paralysed in many ways due to non-availability of mobile internet services in this peace loving district.
"Hence, we demand restoration of mobile internet in Chandel district immediately.
We will be compelled to take up actions which could deteriorate the ongoing crisis if the Government does not pay heed to our demand," it further cautioned.
