The Manipur High Court has directed the state government to provide limited internet services in some designated places. The bench noted that internet is necessary for people to carry out urgent and essential work, especially in regards to the ongoing admission process of students. The order was issued by Justices Ahanthem Bimol Singh and A Guneshwar Sharma while hearing a bunch of public interest litigations seeking restoration of internet services in the state on Friday.
It was, however, made known Tuesday, advocates said. Internet ban has been continuing in the state since May 3 in the wake of violence. Meanwhile, a bench of Acting Chief Justice M V Muralidharan has admitted a review petition seeking to modify its March 27 order that directed the state government to recommend inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list.
