The Manipur government on Sunday lifted the ban on mobile internet services in the violence-hit state after seven long months with an order that the ban will continue in border areas of a few districts.

Mobile internet services across Manipur have remained suspended since May 3, since the ethnic clashes in the northeastern region started between two tribal communities– Meitei and Kuki.

The ban was briefly lifted on September 23, only to be resumed on September 26 to prevent the use of social media for transmitting images, hate speech and hate video messages, which might have serious repercussions for the law and order situation.

“Considering the law-and-order situation, which has reportedly improved in the past few days and inconveniences faced by the general public due to the long duration of such suspension, the state government has decided to relax the suspension,” said a notice issued by T Ranjit Singh, commissioner (home).

According to the notice, the suspension would be lifted across the state except for mobile towers catering services on a 2 km radius along adjoining areas between districts of Churachandpur and Bishnupur, Churachandpur and Kakching, Kangpokpi and Imphal West, Kangpokpi and Imphal East, Kangpokpi and Thoubal and Tengnoupal and Kakching.

In a shocking turn of events, Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium is grappling with a power crisis just hours before the fourth T20 clash between India and Australia. The heart of the issue lies in an unpaid electricity bill amounting to a staggering ₹3.16 crore, a debt that has loomed over the stadium since 2009, according to NDTV's report. This shocking revelation has cast a shadow over the cricketing extravaganza.

The unpaid bill led to a severe consequence five years ago when the electricity connection at the stadium was abruptly severed. Despite a temporary connection being installed upon the Chhattisgarh State Cricket Association's request, it only covers the spectators' gallery and boxes. The floodlights, crucial for the game's visibility during the match, will be powered by generators due to the outstanding bill.
