Kokrajhar Violence: Internet Shutdown Impacts Civilians

There was a violent clash in Kokrajhar and Chirang districts in Assam, India, after a mob attack over suspected cattle theft.

To control the situation, the government shut down the internet.

This shutdown has caused many problems for students, job seekers, and travelers.

Students can't access study materials, job aspirants can't prepare for exams, and travelers can't communicate or navigate easily.

The internet shutdown, while meant to prevent more violence, has made daily life difficult for many people.

Similar internet shutdowns have happened in other parts of Assam recently due to other violent incidents.
