As per the orders by the Haryana government, apart from the internet services, SMS services in the state were also suspended. In their order, the state government had said that they had to place restrictions on internet services in order to “stop the spread of disinformation and rumours through various social media platforms, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter.” The order added that these platforms can be used for facilitation and mobilization of mobs as they can cause serious damage to life and property.
This ban on internet services was first imposed in Haryana on a few districts after there was violence at the tractor rally on January 26. However, it was extended to 17 districts on January 30. Although the ban has been lifted from 10 districts, internet services are unavailable in seven of Haryana’s districts.
