The Manipur government on Tuesday, 25 July, ordered the lifting of a ban on internet services across the violence-hit state in a 'conditional' and 'liberalised' manner.

This comes over two months after internet services were banned in the state after ethnic clashes broke out between the majority Meitei and Kuki communities.

However, mobile internet still remains banned, as per a circular issued by the state government.

The government further added that no connection apart from a static IP will be allowed and that service providers will be held responsible if subscribers are found using any other type of connection.
