The Haryana government has ordered the suspension of mobile internet services in the NIT zone of Faridabad district ahead of a planned demolition drive. The decision was taken to prevent any potential unrest and maintain law and order in the area.
Details of the Suspension
According to an official order issued by the Haryana government, mobile internet services will remain suspended in the NIT zone of Faridabad from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM on a specific date. The suspension applies to all mobile internet services, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, as well as all mobile data services and SMS services (excluding banking and mobile recharge messages).
Reason Behind the Move
The administration cited the need to prevent the spread of rumors and maintain public safety during the demolition drive. The move is aimed at ensuring that the drive proceeds smoothly without any untoward incidents. The district administration has also deployed additional security forces in the area to maintain peace.
Impact on Residents
Residents of the NIT zone will face inconvenience due to the suspension of mobile internet services. However, essential services such as banking transactions and mobile recharges will continue through SMS. The administration has urged residents to cooperate and maintain peace during the drive.
This is not the first time that internet services have been suspended in Haryana ahead of sensitive operations. The state government has previously taken similar measures in other districts to prevent the misuse of social media and messaging platforms.
