Internet Shutdown in Central Delhi Amid Student Protests

Internet Shutdown in Central Delhi Amid Student Protests

The government has ordered an internet shutdown in parts of central Delhi, especially around Jantar Mantar where students are protesting.

This shutdown affects mobile data and other services, making it hard for people to use digital payments, make calls, or access the internet.

The government says this is to stop misinformation and violence, but many people, including those not involved in the protests, are affected.

The order was initially supposed to last till 4 PM but was extended to midnight.

This is not the first time such a shutdown has happened, and people are upset because the government has not made the order public, which they say is against the law.
