June 17, 2018: Meghalaya government today suspended mobile internet services in seven districts of Khasi-Jaintia Hills region after intelligence inputs raised concerns over the law and order situation in those areas.
State Home Secretary S Kharlyngdoh said that suspension order was issued today, three days after it was lifted, and will remain in force for next 48 hours.
The state capital came in the grip of violence for five days following clashes between Sikhs and Khasis in the city’s Punjabi Lane area on May 31. The tension spread to other areas, after rumours related to the clashes were circulated on social media. (AIR News)
