2 killed in fresh violence in Assam tribal council area - The Hindu
Mobile internet services were temporarily suspended in two districts of Assam’s Karbi Anglong region following incidents of violence and rising tension. The state government took this preventive step to stop the spread of rumours, misinformation, and inflammatory content on social media that could worsen the situation. According to officials, clashes and acts of vandalism were reported in certain areas, prompting authorities to increase security and impose restrictions. Police and administrative teams were deployed on the ground to restore law and order and ensure public safety. The suspension mainly affected mobile data services, while essential communication and emergency operations were closely monitored. Authorities stated that the decision was taken in the interest of maintaining peace and would be reviewed based on the evolving situation.
