Mobile Internet Restored in Kokrajhar & Chirang
The internet on mobile phones is working again in two places called Kokrajhar and Chirang.
This happened after some problems and fights a few days ago.
Many people had to leave their homes and stay in special places called relief camps.
Now, almost all these camps are closed, and people are going back home.
The police asked everyone to use the internet carefully and not to share anything that could cause more trouble.
They are also watching the internet to make sure no one shares bad or false information.
Before this, the internet was turned off to stop the spread of rumors and to keep people safe.
Now that things are getting better, the internet is back on, and people can use it again for their daily activities.
Mobile internet services have been fully restored in Kokrajhar and Chirang districts.
Nearly all relief camps have been closed, with only one remaining camp to shut down on January 24.
Authorities urge responsible use of the internet and are monitoring online platforms for provocative content.
The internet suspension was imposed on January 20 due to violent protests and to curb the spread of rumors.
The restoration of internet services has brought relief to students, job aspirants, and residents who faced disruptions in their daily activities.
