The Haryana government has suspended mobile internet services in several districts to maintain peace during a demolition drive on May 30, 2026. The order was issued by the state home department to prevent any untoward incidents and maintain law and order.
Details of the Suspension
Mobile internet services were suspended in districts including Gurugram, Faridabad, and Palwal. The suspension will remain in effect from 8 AM to 8 PM on May 30. The government stated that the decision was taken to prevent the spread of rumors and maintain peace during the demolition drive.
Reason Behind the Move
The demolition drive is part of a court-ordered action against illegal constructions. Authorities feared that miscreants might use social media to incite violence or spread misinformation. Hence, the temporary suspension of mobile internet was deemed necessary.
Residents have been advised to cooperate with the authorities and avoid spreading unverified information. The government has assured that essential services will not be affected.
Previous Instances
This is not the first time mobile internet has been suspended in Haryana. Similar measures were taken during previous demolition drives and protests to maintain peace and order.
