Internet services restored in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar

Yogi Adityanath government had suspended the internet services in 21 districts of the state till Friday midnight. The internet shutdown was a preventive measure in view of the Friday prayers and possible protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Internet black out was aimed to prevent the dissemination of information through social media in event of any trouble.

Earlier, internet service had remained suspended for six days in Lucknow and was restored on Wednesday night after violence erupted during the anti-CAA protests last week.
