In September 2024, authorities in Manipur imposed a suspension of internet and mobile data services in response to growing tensions and protests. The blackout has had widespread effects on the region’s residents and businesses.
The disruption has severely impacted economic activities, especially those involving online transactions and businesses dependent on internet access. Moreover, the lack of vital information has worsened the ongoing crisis.
Some experts believe that such blackouts could mask larger cybersecurity vulnerabilities, leaving India exposed to both internal and external cyber threats. In the absence of reliable communication, rumors have spread, fueling mistrust among the population.
The communication shutdown has sparked concerns that it could lead to further unrest. Critics argue that limiting access to information may hinder efforts to peacefully resolve the situation.
As the blackout persists, both residents and businesses in Manipur continue to struggle with daily challenges, while authorities work to maintain order and address the underlying issues causing the unrest.
