Haryana on Sunday lifted the ban on mobile internet in three districts — Yamunanangar, Rewari and Palwal — while extending the duration of the blackout till 5pm on Monday across 14 other districts, reports Manvir Saini.
Responding to criticism over the ban paralysing businesses and preventing students from logging in for online classes, officials said restrictions might be further eased after a review on Monday evening.
The ban could, however, continue in parts of NCR and other potential trouble spots. Clamped to break the communication chain of agitating farm unions and workers following the rioting in Delhi on Republic Day, the ban remains in force in Ambala, Kurukshetra, Karnal, Kaithal, Panipat, Hisar, Jind, Rohtak, Bhiwani, Sirsa, Fatehabad, Charkhi Dadri, Sonipat and Jhajjar.
